Pros

During peak season there is opportunity to work a large amount of overtime. The pay is reasonable for the job. Although not all of the bosses are good, my boss is amazing. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I leave work.

Cons

During peak they sometimes require mandatory overtime, and this can interfere with personal obligations. People steal, so there is tight security. Lots and lots of walking.

Pros

Growth, good compenstation, great place to learn. Name recognition when moving on never hurts either, I received a pretty outstanding offer and the competition for the next level doesn't appear too fierce. As you get further up, the peope surrounding you get smarter and smarter until it's almost intimidating!

Cons

Very little initial training with lots of "tribal knowledge" to get through and somehow learn. The company is extremely data-criven, which allows them to make decisions, but sometimes it seems that people can get lost in all that information. The hours can be a bit tedious too. 60 hours is not uncommon even during medium-busy times.
