Pros

good place to build your retail and customer service experience

Cons

so many people steal from the store but corporate doesnt want you to do anything or risk getting a lawsuit and yet they will subtract available hours from the store because there isnt enough sales being made to provide hours because customers keep stealing merchandise. It's an endless loop of highly questionable procedures and terrible customers.

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.
