1. 10-12 hour shifts- to this day, an 8-hour shift feels short to me 2. Heavy lifting and racking planks of wood 20 feet long is a daily occurrence. 3. Place of work has no heat, at least not our area, the salesmen and managers enjoyed a 70F office while we had a 40F workplace 10 feet away from them, accommodations could have easily been made, but we didn't even have a 50$ space heater for the whole winter. 4. MANDATORY overtime, 48 hours a week is expected, period. 5. You have PTO, but they are very ridiculous with how you use it. 6. At 16$ you are paid like a Walmart employee but you are put to work like a construction worker. The only thing that supplements this is the overtime. 7. The only hope to make a career here is to score in sales (no commission), But people will keep you away from the counter and away from the phones doing the grunt work of keeping a store together. 8. The Management here is horrifying, 2 of my 4 managers were severely obese white-collar workers who could not understand why we couldn't keep more than two MTs (a store should have 3-4). They would talk badly behind your back and lecture when they don't do a lick of the actual labor.
