Cons

Will work you into the ground without so much as a thank you. District managers play favorites on who gets promoted, and will hire outside the company instead of promoting within. Most managers stay in the office, bash people who work, and don’t punish the ones that don’t. The freight system is a disaster also. Multiple trucks in one week, only to send you the same item that you already have tons on backstock. They have cut hours and don’t hire new folks, so you end up doing a job that needs 3 people, alone. No vacation time until you have been full time for one year. So even if you have been working 35 hours a week (full time by IRS definition) for 6 months, and then get full time, you will still wait a year to get vacation. While you are doing this, you will watch the managers take 3-4 vacations a year.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
