      Pros

      Okay pay (as long as you don't calculate pay/hour) and decent bennies

      Cons

      LOOOOOOONG hours and messed up schedule.. Not unusual to work 11-12 hours or longer, go home and sleep for 1 1/2 hours, get up and go right back to work for another 12 hours. Several times worked 11 hours, slept for 3 or 4, got up and worked overnight and stayed until 3 or 4 pm the next day.

      Pros

      I worked there for less than a month before I left. I was on the M.E.T team. I was really excited bc of the supposedly set hrs., which were a lie, and bc of the type of work they trained me for. Problem is they had a daytime assoc training mem BIG MISTAKE!!! Nothing she showed me was how it was suppose to go. I even asked, "Why am I being trained by you & you work in the daytime?", her response was a snarky one "I can show you what you'll be doing. I've been here 20 yrs & have been a Manager & everything. I think I know what I'm doing". WRONG! I didnt say anything after that. I just took all the training I could get in. I report for my 1st night of work and NOTHING she showed me, & I do mean NOTHING was the same. I essentially was thrown on the job with no training. They assured me that I would be paired with a " trainer" who would show me everything & not leave my side. WRONG AGAIN! As soon as we hit the floor he was doing his own thing. Not explaining anything to me or telling me what I should be doing. I was walking around looking lost bc I didn't know what to do. Everyone else just fell into their daily routine & left me hanging. I asked my trainer about training & he said this is your training:Find something to do. NO SIR & NO THANK YOU.

      Cons

      1.PAY SUCKS:$9.20 an hr 2.I wasn't allowed to go outside on my lunch, we had to stay in the building 3.No 15 min breaks, only a lunch. I asked someone about a break 3 hrs in & was told "We don't do that here. Just lunch" 4.They turn the air off at night so it's hot as hell! 5.THEY NOW UNDERPAY EMPLOYEES. I INTERVIEWED FOR THIS SAME POSITION 2 YRS AGO & WAS OFFRRED DAMN NEAR $13, NOT A MEASLEY $9.20. 6.Management sucks 7.No organization at all 8.I asked for an employee handbook & management said "We don't have those"...RED FLAG 9.Every other assoc in the store hates the overnight M.E.T team. 10.They bring in outside help who make AT LEAST $3 more than you, even though you're the 1 with the orange shirt 11.I was told I would work no more than 8 hrs...that was a LIE 12. Not to mention the fact that they wanted me to drive to a location 70 miles out from my home then, they advised that I park my car, in what I know is an unsafe location, for the entire night until i returned the next morning from the store 70 miles out. No Bueno. Don't think so. Was NEVER going to freakin happen.

      Great pay and bonuses opportunities. Family type environment. The company does a lot of great things for its communities and associates.

      Cons

      For salaried mgmt, lost family and personal time is more than I originally expected.
