Pros

Managers are paid pretty decent and there are more employee discount days than other companies I’ve worked for.

Cons

Managers are forced to work long hours bc of the lack of talent required to run the business. If you can’t work extra, you will be branded as unreliable and subpar employee. Coordinators are paid peanuts and over worked. If you’re the BRC, (backroom coordinator)your life will be hell. Part-time employee pay was even worse and they were shamed for taking days off. Home Office/Upper management are more concerned with getting product in the building than the safety of the team. The company expectation is to finish a truck in 24 hours. The company doesn’t pay its part-time and coordinators enough, to get talent that can aid in assistance with streamlining freight. Instead, the company will settle with retirees on social security bc those are the only people available to accept $12 an hour. Those team members were constantly being pointed out as the problem for trucks being pushed/delayed. But the real problem is with the company refusing to pay employees a decent wage and overstocking stores to where it becomes unsafe for employees and customers as well. If OSHA were to walk into the stores, I can guarantee half would be shutdown due to safety and health violations.

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.
