      Pros

      Ocean state is a company that seems genuinely interested in making their associates and store management succeed. The whole interview and onboarding process as well as training has been a pleasant experience. Ocean state offers good benefits and a competitive pay. There are o lot of 'hidden" little perks that make them stand out in a positive way.

      Cons

      I have not found any so far.

      Thank you. As you know, we are working hard with our Logistics and Allocation team to make the freight flow process better.

      Pros

      The store itself has great deals and I find myself shopping after/before work a lot! We get a 20% discount which is nice.

      Cons

      I am always a reliable employee... I go to school full time and half another job and still have only ever called out ONCE in three years due to being extremely sick. In my opinion they take advantage of my work ethic to the max. I am ALWAYS the one stuck doing the projects everyone else left behind or "didn't have time for" people can make excuses all they want but when they expect things from you once they realize you are a hard worker then its all downhill from there. They know I have school in the morning and still have me stay late (after the store closes) to finish projects that someone else should have done. I am suuuupppeeerrr sick of it. Maybe my situation is a special case and I really don't think it has anything to do with corporate but boy have I had bad luck with managers.
