Pros

Manager supply breakfast for us on truck days. Some days can be really good depending which supervisor you working with for the day. Employee discounts.

Cons

Very low pay for the amount of work that has to be done. everything is done manual, No equipment for lifting heavy items. Time limit for 10-15 pages of replenishment. Store has no security, Customers can steal and walk out with anything they want without being stopped by an employee.

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.
