Pros

Great benefits: health insurance, 401k, stock. Teaches how to manage money quickly. Fun staff. Very clean and professional. Secure.

Cons

There is room to grow but promotions aren't being thrown left and right. They want you to be the best at whatever position you're in. There aren't any talks about moving up and even if you thought about it you wouldn't even know where to start.

Pros

4 days off in a row once a month

Cons

Stock is overrated. Horrible hours. They promote people with less time and dedication than others. If you get trained on a forklift as a selector you will never get to do your job. Instead you're a slave making $12 less an hour.
