Pros
The health insurance package offered is very low in cost to its employees. Employee discount is very good. 2 weeks vacation after one year is also a good benefit.
Cons
This company is run by liars and thieves. Managers are hired as salaried employees with the agreement they will have a 40 hour work week. Starting your second week, the schedule will change and extra hours will be added with no additional compensation. On week three managers are told they need to work a 6 day work week in order to be eligible for the "managerial bonus" which is promised on your annual review. Annual reviews don't happen and neither do raises or bonuses. The owners of this store do not share any sales or profit information with staff. There has not been a physical inventory in this company in over 25 years. Inventory is still done by literally hand writing your order manually entering it into a 30 year old computer system. Employee safety in not a concern at Carr Hardware. The store is located in a high crime neighborhood with a mental health hospital next door. The parking lot is dimly lit, security cameras are unable to identify the people that are entering the store (in case of a robbery), the warehouse shelving is completely unsafe with unsecure freight balancing up to the ceiling just waiting to fall and kill someone, rotten shelving outside waiting to collapse, explosive liquids stored directly outside the boiler room door (should be out of building), sewage in basement constantly flooding inventory (then the inventory is sold or rented). There is not enough space on this website for me to list off all the CONS !!!
