Pros

The only good thing about this company is the flexible schedule.

Cons

The upper management on a whole is very two-faced. There are some extreme cases of favoritism at play with certain Team Leads, being that they are the only ones deemed worthy enough to run stores even when its the senior team leads that have saved the rookies and their stores time and time again. Forget about trying to better yourself by going back to school either, once you inform your district office, you can kiss your hours good bye. I have done just this because I'm tired of working jobs that get me nowhere and don't pay enough to pay the bills. As a result I've found myself sitting at home and not working at all, and because your going to school you have a hard to in gaining your unemployment benefits. The work environment is okay for the most part in that you aren't in the same place day in day out, But it is tiring work and not for those whom have small children. If management taking notice of you they will make you a lead, and work you to and beyond the exhaustion point.They worked me for 2 months straight with no days off and no time in between shifts in order to sleep. Yes the pay checks for this are nice, but a pay check is not worth getting into a serious car accident for, so beware! The company also requires you to drive all over with no gas reimbursement and rarely offer car pooling or a company vehicle.

Pros

if you work good and fast which i surprisingly did even though i weighed 330lbs at the time, i was 2nd fastest in the team by the end of the 1st week and i really didnt feel i was going that fast and i wasnt scanning the high buck stuff either, i was stoned the entire time as well, the no drug test was awesome but i hear that changed. I quickly got a pay raise to 10.50/hr from 8.50 as did a friend of mine who started with me. I was on the travelling team which helps with the bad hours others are describing, in january when i quit there were no travelling jobs for a few months and it was all local with HORRIBLE hours everyone else describes and didnt want to do it anymore. When you travel they pay for the hotel and you get a per diem for food, it was 2 home depots a week which took 2 half days to complete with 1 day off in between to do whatever, i had a 40 mpg car and chose to drive myself with my buddy so i could smoke and riding in the vans with sweaty stinky people wasnt for me. I could also get out and about on these times off which was nice but they offered me the chance to be van driver so i jumped at that and got to take the vans out for food etc on time off periods. They had a travelling wal mart and home depot team. Walmart did 4 stores a wk with no break. Within a month my friend and i got promoted to asst team leaders. I hear all the structuring changed along with pay not soon after i left. If you can travel id suggest the travelling teams for better more consistent hours, local really sucked .

Cons

Local teams have horrible hours and distances to travel, and i hear the pay sucks and pay raises are almost unheard of anymore, i worked back in 05, they would only let me choose 2008 for most recent

Pros

There are little to no pros to working for this company, unless you are a new hire, which can get 30-40% higher pay then the seasoned employee. Company set revenue records in 2010

Cons

Under staffed IT department, embarking on 5 large projects IT is ran in a military style and if you step out of line, the sergeant will take you in the office and scream at you. business process doesnt exist and every time a new one is preseted, it is thrown out. Raises are at a minimum, but employees are expected to devote their entire lives to the company...averaging 60-70 hours a week is very common.
