Pros

First pick on items, employee discount, great coworkers

Cons

Terrible/absent leadership above store level. People who have been working for the company for 10+ years and are terrible at their job and give minimal effort are never dealt with and are common. Corporate constantly reminds us of all of our benefits (first pick, discount, lots of vacation, Healthcare that sucks and gets worse every year) rather than pay a living wage. Multiple known instances of managers accused of sexual harassment being demoted or moved rather than fired. A corporate culture constantly trending away from the core values of the company as stated in their mission. HPB has become a company that cares much more about making money in any way possible than treating its dedicated employees well.

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
