Placate your superiors. You might get noticed. Work hard, offer experienced opinions and the door is that way.
Pros
The ground game and hustle by the cogs and sprockets that make the machine go. The us against them(management) mentality is so unnecessary. And don't pretend it's not there. There are those that really take pride in the products and the accurate and timely fulfillment of those products. We recognize those people among us. Management certainly doesn't.
Cons
Wages are low. Lots of high-school kids doing temp work in evenings. That probigates the idea that if the kids aren't being paid much then the "full timers" shouldn't either. "Full time" is in quotes because you might work full time hours but recieve O benefits. The merchandising department love to splash the idea of all the good "juju" at the workplace in there sales materials. A hoot and a holler it is not. The business is no longer owned by its founder. It's owned by a faceless Equity firm out of town. Imagine that extra kick in the pants for morale.
