Pros

They pay is competitve for medium box retail. You are surrounded by Cristian themes. The beautiful dispays you can build put a nice twist on the typical retail landscape.

Cons

You will work 75 hours a week Feb-Oct. You will work 90 hours a week Nov-Jan. You will get NO Days off except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day during Nov, Dec, Jan. You will get a project in april that will require 80 hour weeks, so that you miss Easter. The Cristian Claimed company will take you away from your family during all Christian Holidays. The DM or RVP will send email canceling days off at least once a month. Of course you will already be working those off days if you care about your store meeting weekly inspections. When you finally get over the hurdle and are ready to take a day off, instead you will go to corp. meeting and listen to the cheers of the hundreds of millions the company profited off your efforts and get handed a bonus check for 8K. I would rather had the day off. The company tried to say no working on Sundays, but then retracted when they learned that managers were working 5am to midnights 6 days a week to compensate. So they went back to the 7 day work week.

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.
