Pros

Weekend,Holiday,IPS. Went through the Manager Trainee program. Was told I would get 5 days paid vacation upon completion, then they changed the policy 3/4 the way through that only DEGREED MT's get the vacation day. Store management did not even try to question executives as to why I didn't get the day.

Cons

Must work 1yr before you can get vacation(manager or not). Go above and beyond then that's all they expect from you. Treat you like crap and store management doesn't take ownership of decisions they forced you into.

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.
