Pros

I worked with many great people within the company. Many were within the department I was in. The positives was that it allowed myself to gain experience when other companies wouldn't provide that without gaining such. However, the pay was great.

Cons

There were a lot of challenges faced among the culture. In a way it felt that everyone was watching what you were doing at any given time. If you talked with another coworker for to long it would brought to your attention. While I was working there to keep it similar to the manufacturing side of operations (although we were a completely different building) it was required that we clock in and out to use restroom facilities. The benefits in today's age didn't seem to align with the current times. Although right out of college for the first 3 years you were only allowed to have 5 paid days off. You could take unpaid time because every employee is hourly although to get permission was sometimes troublesome.

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.
