Pros

Managers are paid pretty decent and there are more employee discount days than other companies I’ve worked for.

Cons

Managers are forced to work long hours bc of the lack of talent required to run the business. If you can’t work extra, you will be branded as unreliable and subpar employee. Coordinators are paid peanuts and over worked. If you’re the BRC, (backroom coordinator)your life will be hell. Part-time employee pay was even worse and they were shamed for taking days off. Home Office/Upper management are more concerned with getting product in the building than the safety of the team. The company expectation is to finish a truck in 24 hours. The company doesn’t pay its part-time and coordinators enough, to get talent that can aid in assistance with streamlining freight. Instead, the company will settle with retirees on social security bc those are the only people available to accept $12 an hour. Those team members were constantly being pointed out as the problem for trucks being pushed/delayed. But the real problem is with the company refusing to pay employees a decent wage and overstocking stores to where it becomes unsafe for employees and customers as well. If OSHA were to walk into the stores, I can guarantee half would be shutdown due to safety and health violations.

Pros

The people and the company respects diversity.

Cons

After working there after a year, the no fault hours doesn't kick in, if your hired date falls after December. Working with lazy employees and bonus are not fairly distributed, depending on which shirt you work on.

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
