Pros

Good pay MOST coworkers friendly some customers are nice and many regulars That's it, no other pros. Overall very depressing place to be.

Cons

The management is rude Outdated systems (cash registers) Screwed over on hours (either too few or many, usually too few) You never know when you will be home Barely even trained, then you get in trouble for the all the stuff they didn't even train you for, but you learn from it. Takes a couple months to get comfortable with product locations and departments (but that comes with any store job) Can't even have water when you're at the register or on the floor, not even for health reasons Little ability to move upward The music can make you want to die Customers become hostile if they think something is on sale and it isn't. Can become depressing and tedious. I don't recommend getting a job there unless you want to work seasonal.

Pros

good pay. 6 paid holidays.

Cons

Distribution center only cares about numbers, not employees. Keep your production up to 90 or above or you're a goner. Fellow employees wil mow you down trying to pull their items. and if you're slow, look out, you have to get out ot THEIR way. And of course you can't make your production if you can't work and have to wait for others to fill their orders.
