Pros

Strong company that will probably be around forever. The work is pretty easy unless you're a buyer. A good place to work for if you have a family and need a work life balance. Lots of paid time off and many holidays with great benefits.

Cons

You work in a silo with little interaction/cooperation with other departments. They reward time spent at the company rather than actual work ethic. Advancement is based on who you know and how well you can brown nose. Just because someone is a manager, director, or VP of a department does not necessarily mean that they have any skills or background in that field. It's not a place for young, intelligent, ambitious workers. The pay is somewhat insulting.

Pros

Benefits are administered to part time employees but you need to stick it out for quite some time. You have no choice to be in the union you are forced which i didn't like. Its a decent high school job because of flexibility. I would recommend getting in somewhere like internet shopping where you can be on your own and not have to worry about anything.

Cons

You should have a choice whether you want to be in the union or not. Base pay isn't good unless you live with your parents.
