Pros

45% store discount, often fairly easy work, you meet a lot of people

Cons

For temporary seasonal employees, who make up the vast majority of the workforce, there is little to no chance of advancement or permanent employment. People who work here are barely scraping by. 12 years ago when I first worked for Harry and David under Yamanouchi ownership, I remember being paid better, and I had a manager who I could describe without using four letter words. I came back in 2014 because I had a great time in 2013 under a great supervisor. I do not plan to return in 2015. Compensation is the legal minimum, benefits are non-existent, hours were cut this year.

Pros

It pays. Low bar to employment.

Cons

The clientele are all senile white people with too much money and not enough taste. The company training is like you're being inducted in to a miserable cult. It's not enough that you work there without benefits, you have to LOVE working there without benefits.

Pros

Great product, fun co-workers, okay environmentt

Cons

Their process (materials handling, inventory, order processing) is a mess which can make your job very difficult. For example, when they ran out of gift baskets that were ordered, in part, because they were deemed Kosher, they substituted with a gift basket containing PORK SAUSAGE!!!! Needless to say, we had one very, very unhappy customer. This kind of stuff happens way too much.
