Pros

Never work more than 40 hours

Cons

Corporate doesnt care about if you need extra help in the warehouse or sales floor. Highly under staffed at the North Charleston store. Pay is horrible, 16/hr and a regular employee gets 14-15 Doesnt pay to be a manager Supervisor bonuses add like 300$ a month if you can hit goals every month. Impossible goals.

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.
