Pros

If your a Musician, you appreciate the atmosphere and the people you work with. The giveaways are nice if you play an instrument.

Cons

The company shows no care towards employees, "You are replaceable" should be on their application. I Worked there for 6 years earning top sales numbers and was treated the same, "You are replaceable". Another huge con, though the work requires knowledge in different music fields, the training is extremely weak, and the company throws their new employees under the bus by not providing the proper training to handle the customers you work with.

Pros

No drug tests unless you are a driver, and get in a accident. The people you work with are some of the best people you will ever want to work with.

Cons

Oh boy. 20 word minimum? This wont be hard. I Have worked at the KCDC for a little over 7 months. Almost every one I was in orientation with has quit. I have seen over 9 people leave so far that I KNOW in the 7 months, I guarantee you there is more. The Higher ups as I will refer to them know nothing. They are all pencil pushers with degrees that have nothing to do with running a warehouse. Every week rules change. One week we will be allowed to do one thing, the next week it will change. Rules vary depending on what shift you work on and what department you are in. When questioned about why another shift or department can do something our area cant, they simply reply with thats how we need to do it. They cant give a logical explanation for anything they(higher ups) say. Some supervisors are more strict than others. Some dont care if you clock in 1 min late, some will take action. Employes are not allowed to have cellphones in the warehouse. I can see this for safety reasons since there is power equipment. This however does not apply to supervisors. Most all supervisors will sit on there phone all day texting non work related stuff to who knows what. I would not recommend this job to anyone

Pros

Coworkers and team leaders are generally really great people to be around and are really the only reason to come in to work

Cons

Policies change constantly with little-to-no notice, company doesn't care about their employees, turnover is crazy because no one can stay more than six months. I was put on a final warning for attendance after having to go to the ER and submitting a note to be out of work. Management does not care about their employees.
