Pros

Make a lot of money from overtime and weekend pay. Pick up A LOT of home improvement knowledge. Build a great bond with fellow employees, that sticks even after leaving. Tons of room for advancement. Great benefits and holiday/vacation pay. Opportunities for bonuses - everyone can get a profit sharing and christmas bonus check.

Cons

Always short-handed, understaffed. Upper management micromanages. Required to long hours, with minimal breaks. Call-ins are frequent for call-offs.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
