Pros

-Opportunities to make more than your base pay. -Potential promotions in future. -Learn new things about the industry everyday.

Cons

-Top brass and the company as a whole is not tolerant of how people choose to express themselves physically, i.e. MANDATORY SHAVING, NO LONG HAIR. -Hours are ridiculously long. -They lie about the hours you’re scheduled. -Expect you to know everything out the gate with basically no formal training. -Forces you to participate in “Lumber Camp”, which may I add they FORCE YOU to drive if you’re less than 500 miles away from 84, PA. AND you can’t stay at a hotel, you’re FORCED to dorm with random people which in this day and age is just too sketchy. -Esoteric POS systems that use Telnet instead of a front end webpage LOL.
