Pros

Employment, that's about it. Nothing more.

Cons

Very outdated systems to work with. Horrible, horrible leadership from Directors up. The blind leading the blind is the best phrase to describe operations there. Operations department think they know it all and their leadership have attitude issues. Departments don't relate to each other. Sorry for store employees and they way they are treated. Bang, bang, jump on tables theory used by operations leaders to get what they want. Not a properly run coporate office. Those in decision making roles cannot make any good decisions.

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.
