Pros

You get 20% off as an employee plus the deals that they have going on also applies lots of paid time off

Cons

It's over night and you are going to be lifting more weight than they say you will. no chance of promotion unless you want to spend your life there. Usually don't get off on time Everything has a smell and when blended together, smells really bad and you will go home smelling like the warehouse. also, too much work and hazards for being paid minimum wage.

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.
