I met a few fun people and had to re-teach myself how to use Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Excel while working there
Cons
The most disorganized workplace I've ever seen.
The owner is consistently pompous and rude. He would cut me down and say things like "if I wanted it done like this, I would have had my dog do this. I hired you for your brain, use it." This was for something that I had never done before and was totally guessing.
There didn't seem to be a chain of command, just the owner and then everyone else.
The warehouse is disgusting and doesn't comply with safety regulations.
There is no efficient training program for anything, so there is alot of inconsistencies in every department.
The salaried employees are expected to work ridiculous hours and aren't paid well enough.
Turnover is aweful! Out of the people that I talked to, none of them seemed to enjoy their work. Nobody seemed like they wanted to be there.
