Pros

Beer cart sometimes Learn a lot about production for large retailers

Cons

Oooo so many. You'll be overworked and underpaid. Underappreciated and disrespected. People cry a lot. I've seen managers roll their eyes at people. They talk nasty behind your back all the time then lie and act friendly to your face. They'll make you think you're friends then tell on you when you confide in them. The bullies, mean girls and outside hires get the promotions (you'll be working with 95% women in the office and in my HR exit interview they said they heard many times the term "mean girls" being used to describe the environment and management). Hardly any deserving internal employees that are hard working and kind get management jobs. There were very few truly friendly managers that people loved and I wish they would realize they deserve more than what this place is offering them. Turn over is INCREDIBLY HIGH. The month I left I heard over ten others left as well, just being burnt out and tired of the toxicity. With an office of I would say around a hundred people, that's a major issue...and that's just one month. I don't think a month went by without people leaving. You know it's bad when you bring up the issue of toxic members of the staff (who are often friends of the higher ups or are management themselves), and YOU are the one that gets written up for having a bad or unprofessional attitude. Many people did this and it was never the toxic people that were dealt with. This place is backwards. It's like entering a nightmare twilight zone. It's opposite of real mature adult life with well adjusted people. I want to say so much more but I don't know if anyone actually listens there. They'll continue to be mean and have horrible time management and communication issues causing ridiculous frustration and overtime. Everyone I know who has left is healthier (a lot of people got sick from stress) and happier now, myself included. Which is sad, because if the company was managed right, this job would have been really fun.

Pros

I worked with an outstanding team of people that had strong systems in place for workflow. We were a fine tuned group that worked very well together. My direct bosses were awesome and I enjoyed my direct reports.

Cons

The company sold it's US based locations due to several factors such as the pandemic, slower sales and the tariff situation.
