Pros

Good pay and employees treated well Amazing insurance and vacation accruing Nice flexible schedules for retail

Cons

Processes stuck in the past with little use of easy to access technology Typical retail issues such as inventory, theft, return policy, customer service and micromanagement Impossible to fire bad associates for anything Doesn’t matter how much you sell if it’s not done their way

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.
