Pros

Relaxed atmosphere and dress code. Simple job doesn’t require any brain power. Sometime you get to drive a forklift. You get a workout everyday.

Cons

Heavy lifting and poor compensation. High employee turnover rate. Punishment for performance. If you are a good employee and hard worker you’ll be expected to go above and beyond all the time.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
