Pros

Easy work, nice co-workers, great customers.

Cons

Work schedules are always messed up no matter how many times you give them your availability, maximum 10 minute break & 30 minute lunch, bare minimum pay rate, I can't count the number of times this company have completely dismissed employer rules and regulations, constantly understaffed, majority of the store are small and run down with horrible employee break rooms.

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.
