Pros

Pay for work was okay. 20% Employee Discount Some decent coworkers Potential Upward Mobility

Cons

Bad Logistics Manager: no morality, expects employees to be robots. During meetings, he would frequently tell employees how dispensable they were. No Downtimes: it was go, go, go. Crammed: The location I was at (orange, ca) is cramped, making it hell for us to move merchandise around efficiently, especially on the sales floor.

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.
