Pros

The best part about my job is that I am smart and take care of my business, so unless I start slacking, I pretty much work unsupervised. I am, IMHO, one of the best associates there; I rarely not do what was asked of me unless I have a reason to support me not doing it. This helps me gain more respect from the managers than a typical associate.

Cons

The hours our horrible, benefits and time off are also bad. Poor recognition of good work. I have been there almost 5 years without one employee of the month recognition. No time off, other than your 2 days off, will be approved during Nov 1 and Jan 15th due to the holiday season.

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
