Pros

Pay was decent 40K first year as a manager trainee. Looks good on a resume

Cons

Work life balance was awful. Worked 52+ hours every week. I worked there 2 years and had 3 paid off days. Work ever other weekend. Job can be very stressful.

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.
