Good pay for okay job

Store associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work over the summer if you're a college student. Very hard to beat their pay. I liked my bosses and coworkers. Stay busy.

Cons

Wouldn't want to make a career out of it. Hours were never regular. Can be boring and had some safety concerns working alone on a slippery floor in their freezer. Can be hectic.

Short and light need not apply.

Store associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Hourly pay higher than most areas... although the work is extremely tough, even for someone in shape like me.

Cons

Somewhat poor and quick training--I had many questions that were unanswered. Daily task routine was not really explained. Unsafe conditions if you are not tall or strong. The freezer is unbearably cold unless you have on 10 layers. The store itself is also extremely cold and in the short time I was there, had many people complain when they went through my line. Management brushed it off.

Excellent benefits, very tough physically

Store associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay rate, the best benefits of any company I've ever worked for, family like relationship with coworkers, relatively easy to move up if you want it. I can't say enough about the pay and benefits, this company really takes care of its employees.

Cons

This job is extremely demanding physically and sometimes mentally. It is a high pressure environment and if you aren't prepared to bust your butt then don't apply. I have an excellent store manager but if you get stuck with a bad one it could make your job a lot more difficult.
