Literally everything else. After 4 years of employment I make barely above minimum wage (25 cents more) and the justification to this is that you get profit sharing once per year as a bonus check. But you can't rely on a bonus check as a part of your monthly income. I have maintained my warehouse position the entire time i have worked here just because progressing into sales is a negligible pay increase for a lot more work, at least that is what I have gathered from talking to coworkers and working here for several years. This is location based but, most of my coworkers are rude and I have been physically assaulted on the job before, with no justifiable reason. The majority of my coworkers, even the 20+ year veterans, say they would happily take a job elsewhere if an offer was made and several of us are actively searching for a better job. It seems like nobody is happy to be at the job and would rather be anywhere else. I have seen employees at other locations who seem to be happier but I cant imagine they also have a much higher pay scale at their locations so it would leave me with the same problem of working a full time laborious job making less than a barista at Starbucks. I would not recommend this job to anyone and, had I known the reality of this job before taking it, I would have politely declined and never looked back.
