Pros

When I first started it was amazing, but after I came off of maternity leave it was awful. they gave my position away, cut my hours. I was lie to about money that I would receive and when I first started I was told I could get leave but couldn't.

Cons

Its not worth it, they only promote you if your white or Hispanic and the black people who are in management worked extremely hard for it! Also I was a partner who has her own business i asked the beauty buyer for help and she told me no because i am based out of my house but turn around and tell me about a WHITE owned company based out of there house.

Pros

Good benefits Decent pay Employer provided lunches sometimes

Cons

Unrealistic standards (in order to get incentive bonuses you need to run all day for ten hours.) 30 minutes lunch and two fifteen minute breaks for a ten hour day (that is from pick to pick, so you don't clock out. If you're in the back of the warehouse at break time, you may as well keep working because you're not gonna get out before having to head back) The handsets and scanners are garbage (to get a good one, you'll have to show up at least a half hour before your shift)

Business Outlook

Pros

great pay, weekly overtime, good benefits, nice people

Cons

you will constantly be working at least 40-50 hour work weeks, managers do not know how to order or schedule. managers will blame you when you get overtime even though they are the ones who order big trucks. you are supposed to get two 15 minute breaks, but you are lucky if they give you one break. part timers work 40+ hour work weeks with no benefits. managers take pride that you spend more time at work rather than with family.
