If you enjoy being treated like a worthless piece of crap and being sexually harassed then this is the place for you!

Pros

Pay and health insurance are the only pros

Cons

Management is laughable at best. Warehouse directors are delusional in understanding what's needed for employees. Violate osha on a regular basis. Sexually harassment means nothing to them and you will be "let go" on a technicality if they can find one if you complain. Worst company and organization I have ever worked for in both structure and stress.

Pros

The pay is pretty good for the industry

Cons

The health insurance is terrible - it's expensive and doesn't offer very good coverage for anyone who goes to the doctor regularly It is extremely fast-paced, which is something they did not mention when they hired me. You are constantly, and I mean constantly, moving. At the store I worked in we did not receive the breaks we were told we would get when we were hired - I routinely worked 9-10 hour shifts with only one 15-20 minute break HR is totally absent. I complained about being harshly and very publicly yelled at because of a medical condition I had that caused me to have to leave the floor several times a shift and I was not given so much as an apology from management. I eventually quit because of daily verbal harassment from one of my managers - being told on a daily basis that I was too slow and wasn't trying hard enough, as well as putting up with thinly veiled cracks about my weight being the cause.
