Pros

Fun co workers are crazy and they will have you do a ton of work and make you stay over and all kinds of fun stuff boo hop.

Cons

Unqualified managers are super crazy yo they will make you lift heavy stuff and wear this super uncomfortable back brace which weakens intestinal muscles

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.
