Pros

you get a 10% discount on things

Cons

i worked at the Merivale location in Ottawa for some time and management usually tends to put people to work in bad conditions. They will get angry at you if you call in sick and will put you to work on areas even if you say you do not feel comfortable nor prepared to do so. Constantly rushing you and talking to everyone as if they are stupid. They had me go up on ladders and bringing things down in the warehouse after saying I didn't feel safe doing so. Many times had to carry big, heavy items by myself to people's cars. Management only focuses on looking good to customers.
