Pros

nice co workers , great merchandise,flexible work sch.the ops manager works with your schedule as needed. Key carrier is awesome-she is always there to help when needed,she is always on the floor working hard.

Cons

poor pay poor work environment- no air, working in extreme heated building, poor resources- dumpster to small,compactor to small- makes job harder when you cannot put cardboard in compactor or have to always spend time cutting the boxes in little pieces so they will fit- poor productivity there especially for a company that is all about productivity. EXTREMELY LABOR INTENSIVE JOB WITH NO HELP. EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT REALISTIC. timed work environment that is not practical with their expectations due to not enough help to get the job done. coordinators are nice but very critical when a parttimer puts the product out wrong or the processors mix the tanks wrong. they need to relax and show respect to others that work as hard as the ones being critical. SM never comes out of office-he does not lead or manage anything or anyone. The ASM are very nice and work hard but have cliques and talk about other associates or each other to lower level associates.Sometimes makes you wait too long to help at the register/customers. when there is a conflict in store the sm does not handle with a since of urgency/or at all-lets issue continue to swelter and get worse. DM/HR does not react in a timely manner on issues inbuilding that needs their attention and solutions. DM is not friendly does not speak to associates when she is in the building. Minimum wage has been raised in some states but not others? why is that.

Pros

The people and the company respects diversity.

Cons

After working there after a year, the no fault hours doesn't kick in, if your hired date falls after December. Working with lazy employees and bonus are not fairly distributed, depending on which shirt you work on.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
