Pros

Significant company growth is creating substantial opportunities to grow with the company. Bonus plans for supervisors, assistant managers and store managers.

Cons

New scheduling app screws with opportunities to maximize bonus plans. Personal growth only comes with relocating. Raises only come during annual reviews and are typically minimal.

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.
