Pros

At my store at least, there was a lot of teamwork and competency both from the supervisors and most of the team. There is a bonus that employees can earn each month for winning a drawing of $50, which can definitely help out especially when you are not expecting it.

Cons

The starting pay is terrible and the continuing annual raise are garbage. When I got a 3% raise out of a total 5%, and hadn't even received a raise the year before, I was a tad perturbed to say the least. It wasn't my first job and I KNOW how to work with all kinds of people from all types of backgrounds. The only job I took on that I hadn't done before was the Copy and Print Department, and for all the workload you do, you only start out at a measly minimum wage unless you have some prior experience which if you do, don't waste you're time. Go to a print shop instead.

Pros

The commute from Seattle to Sumner is light so that’s a good pro the same way going back home. The commute is really easy. Part of that being would be the start time for the shift which would be about 6 AM so those would be the pros.

Cons

There was a recent hiring freeze, which meant that current employees had to start wearing three or more hats, doing other jobs that are outside of their description, whether they’re capable or not, and then the managers have unrealistic expectations as to how to delegate responsibility due to either not enough tenure in their position or trying to cover more than one department, ..which means things are gonna fall into the cracks, then there is a lack of accountability on the part of management for their contribution to the situation are currently frustrated about… they’re aware of this and let’s just say there is room for growth.
