Pros

If you're into sports this is a good company. The distribution center employees get wholesale prices on all employee purchases so it's fun to buy big items.

Cons

It's a prison like environment; you can't go outside during breaks unless you're management or get a pass -- seriously are we still in high school that I need to get a hall pass to go outside. Every move made is monitored: how long you spend in the bathroom, how often you go and you're late 3 minutes your attendance card is noted. Again, are we in high school?
