Pros

The schedule allows for flexibility.

Cons

Logistics, allocation, aisles become blocked with wrapped pallets of freight, unsafe environment. Freight doesn’t stop coming. Corporate does not listen to freight concerns. Overworked. Given a choice between staying late or go home to your family but there really isn’t a choice. No support at the store level. Most District Team Leaders don’t care to know what Store Team Leaders obstacles are during the week. It’s always “get it done, find a way”. Not a healthy environment.
