Pros

Great health insurance plans, scheduling is okay if you do it far enough in advance, and coworkers are awesome. Good discounts and the ability to check out merchandise.

Cons

The pay is mainly what drags this job down. We haven't gotten profit shares consistently, bringing morale way way down. Sometimes corporate sides with customers, another factor in morale.

Pros

It's fun working for a company that values everyone's opinions and ideas, and at a store level every participates in the day to day activities

Cons

It is becoming less unique as a company and more main stream business.

Pros

Amazing work environment with amazing people. It was never a boring day at HPB! Great benefits (like the employee discount), not to mention the company itself is very employee driven.

Cons

It was a surprisingly physical job. Lots of up and downs, bending, lifting heavy boxes.
