Pros

I have worked at store 1213, the Murfreesboro, TN location for going on 3 months now. I have had a fantastic experience and I couldn’t have asked for much more. All my coworkers are super funny and positive, my manager and area manager have been nothing but helpful and respectful, and they genuinely care about their employees.

Cons

It’s a LOT to take in, especially the first couple weeks. From learning the computer system to figuring out where everything is in the yard, it can be overwhelming at times. However, all of the staff are willing to help you learn how to do things correctly if you just ask. It can be a very physically demanding job, but if you don’t mind hard work it can be a very rewarding experience.

Pros

I started with this company almost 22 years ago as a Manager Trainee. I came in after getting my bachelor's degree and not sure what I wanted to do with my career. I got a "temporary" job with 84 while I figured it out. I enjoyed what the company provided with advancement opportunities and the family atmosphere. The work is challenging, but rewarding. You can make a great living if you put the effort in.

Cons

If you are not willing to learn and work hard this will not be the company for you.
