If you lack work ethic, you need not apply. This is a physical job from manager trainee to manager. Heavy diet of math as well.

Pros

Fast paced environment, great co-workers, I felt the pay was very good for me .. With commission and the hourly pay, I am a single mom of three children, And I lived very comfortable while working with 84, I feel I am still in mourning, for missing out on still being employed by this company. I miss the people I worked with, who end up being like a second family to you. I also had amazing benefits, medical vision and dental. I miss this job every day .

Cons

I dont really see this as a con, but you worked 46 hours a week, which really makes a paycheck nice. You work hard, and sometimes it can be kaotic. But in my experience, he harder we work, the more we all work as a team. Long hours but when the people you work with are like your family away from your family. it makes it kaotic, but not as stressful as can be.
