Pros

This is a great place to work right out of college or first career. Ok pay and great resume builder. Work hard and you will find yourself in a management position fairly quickly.

Cons

1/3 of your annual income is through bonuses. Hourly pay is low. Horrible benifits package and contracted to average 50+ hours a week. weekend travel is required 17 weekend days out of the year which is fun at first but becomes very annoying.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
