Pros

This is a great company to work for, they have medium to high expectations of their employees and are growing; opening new positions for you. If your fresh out of high-school (or still in high-school) and don't plan on collage, this isn't a bad company to start with.

Cons

They don't pay all that spectacular and entry level positions mandate no overtime.

Pros

PTO & Sick time for part time employees

Cons

Under staffed for regular business. The warehouse has no to run it. So it's a mess.
