Bait and switch - Manager Trainee 84 Lumber Employee Review

They do really well on selling you on the job. However, it’s nothing like the job description. Being a comanager is basically being a glorified cashier/salesman. That does whatever the store manager doesn’t want to do. As a trainee you have to unload and load windows and doors, that are heavy, and carry them across the warehouse. No carts or easier way to do it. They have training videos, but my store manager just told me how to answer the phone, and then threw me to the wolves, with no one to help me. Instead of having me actually complete my training first and understand a little more how things work . No work life balance, you may compensate people for their time but most people do not want to work 48 hours a week. The schedule is horrible you’ll be at work lol day with no time to schedule appointments. And they don’t pay enough for basically having you do everything. Lastly, the pod system is so complicated for no reason. The most complicated pod system I’ve ever seen.
