Pros

Enjoyable work. You will never be bored. Must people are enjoyable. The company is financailly very stable. Don't have to worry about it going under.

Cons

OK pay. What you make in a year is really dependent on how much overtime you work. Health insurance is expensive. No company retirement plan. They try to spin the profit sharing as your "retirement plan" however that money barely brings your yearly total to the bottom side of what other employers offer with base pay. Training, for associate buyers, is basically "here's the basics of these three programs. Figure everything else out. Don't mess up. But if you do, I will tell you you're wrong but not tell you why or how to fix it."

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.
