Great People; Boring store

Pros

The employees are all really cool. The work environment is productive and everybody helps each other out. The thing I miss the most about TCS is the people.

Cons

The customers at TCS are a pain to deal with. A lot of merchandise is out of stock and this makes people mad. BUT the worst thing about working at TCS is just how boring it is. It's just containers. Not too exciting.

Pros

The coworkers are the pros of working there

Cons

They promise hours and yet they keep cutting hour left and right Out of the 3 managers, only one is reliable while the others only care bout sales and brown nosing. Truck days are a guarantee hours and that pays more than normal hours they don't really care bout you as a part timer only if you are full timer then you are more welcomed.
