Pros

Pay is ok. You can get promoted quickly.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. You will work all the time. I mean literally all the time. The pay nearly worth the hours. You get no training and your DM's only job is to nit pick you to death. You have no resources to complete your job. The hours you get to to staff your stores are beyond unreasonable. They overload you with product and you have no way to get it to the floor. This sounds very pessimistic. Here is the 100% honest truth. If you want to work 55-60 hours of backbreaking work this the job for you. If you want to manage and have any sort of career where you don't end up divorced and in the hospital look elsewhere. But somehow they will get some of you reading this to actually believe that is is your answer. Well good luck to you. You were warned.

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.
