Pros

25 paid days off (if you never go home early when they are slow) Decent insurance for the area Set schedule (except during mandatory OT, which could last months in certain departments) Generous discount (on overpriced clothing) $250 employee referral bonus (if they choose to hire them)

Cons

They promote open communication with supervisors, however, the supervisors are coached to make the employee look like they are at fault, even with the simplest problems. Receiving department is HARD labor, unless you like lifting 50 pound boxes in 100 degree trucks. Supervisors are arrogant and standoffish, much more so than other places I've worked. Mediocre workers are protected, while above average ones get a t-shirt for their hard work and dedication. Holidays bonuses consist of a $21.50 pre-taxed gift card to a local overpriced grocery store. "Special" appreciation snacks consist of stale muffins, and cheap cold pizza. Bi-yearly holiday meals (July 4th and Christmas) consist of Bar-S hot dogs, generic potato salad, turkey, potatoes, and iced tea. Breaks are too short and takes 4+ minutes to get to designated break areas. HR turns most problems back around on the complainant. PIE drivers get away with murder while riding around on motorized equipment all day.

Pros

Great company, upper management is very down to earth and active in store life. You are given the freedom to offer top notch customer service and do what is right for the customer.

Cons

Company is not always operationally sound
