Pros

Foundation Principles great recruiting bonuses Abililty for part-time employees to make decisions without running everything by the manager Opportunities for leadership roles Empowered employees are able to work with confidence

Cons

It is a physically demanding job, when you are working the merchandise processing shifts. Even though a video is presented during the group interview, the MP shift seems to make or break a person's ability to succeed in the company.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
