Pros

Able to work in one location and some of your fellow employees are very nice.

Cons

Stores are poorly staffed,upper management morals lacking,and expected to physically carry and handle very heavy motors,cranes,etc. You are expected to go to other stores and physically build and merchandise them with half of the help inexperienced and just taking up time and space and not really joining in building the store.

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.
