Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Money and lots of mandatory overtime.

Cons

They overwork their employee's and the management is horrible. They told me that we would only work 4 days a week and 10 hour days but it would technically be until the end of the shift which I was fine with. On being hired however, it was mandatory to work 6 days a week from start until end of shift which often goes 11 hours or more. They can't keep employees for this reason.

Pros

Job flexibility, great way to meet people and network

Cons

- management wants to pretend that customers issues are trivial and only want to help large customers and ignore smaller ones - so many issues in the warehouse and with drivers instead of treating people decent and offering better pay they force them to work longer and harder and at the end of the day the customers and staff are the ones that suffer. - sales job without commissions, people quit and get fired and the other sales reps are required to take on more business with no additional pay - promotions and spiffs are non existent - DSMs micromanage and create their own policies to get ahead and are very quick to Throw their team under the bus.
