Pros

-Opportunities to make more than your base pay. -Potential promotions in future. -Learn new things about the industry everyday.

Cons

-Top brass and the company as a whole is not tolerant of how people choose to express themselves physically, i.e. MANDATORY SHAVING, NO LONG HAIR. -Hours are ridiculously long. -They lie about the hours you’re scheduled. -Expect you to know everything out the gate with basically no formal training. -Forces you to participate in “Lumber Camp”, which may I add they FORCE YOU to drive if you’re less than 500 miles away from 84, PA. AND you can’t stay at a hotel, you’re FORCED to dorm with random people which in this day and age is just too sketchy. -Esoteric POS systems that use Telnet instead of a front end webpage LOL.

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
