Pros

generous pto good health insurance

Cons

if you use rheir insurance to any degree you will be fired under bogus pretenses only 2 paid holidays per year limited career growth to store manager beyond that scarce Forces employees to gather personal contact info from customers and harasses them if they dont. Does not audit cashier tills and blames cashier only never questioning that management can steal cash in the office Technology lags in the industry HR is not trustworthy and seeks to retaliate against people reporting wrongdoing. Does not accomodate people with disabilities very well and seeks to fire.

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.
