Pros

Discount 20% is all I can say.

Cons

NO balance, keep you past your scheduled time if you don't stay they cut your hours next week. Then want you to come in on your day off. Turn over is horrible. That's just on the store level. Attendance is now sent to a Third party, so no matter what you and your store manager have discussed you will be fired with no final. Not only that the management just tells you that you are no longer aloud in the store as you show up for you shift. No explanation no warning. In a week you will get a letter with you last paycheck and the numbers to corporate HR that you will call leave messages and never here anything back. Just like that your canned. If you are firing people for family emergencies and 5 minutes late, while basically holding you hostage "until the job is done" hours past your SCHEDULED off time. #048 FYI my manager was an hour late on the shift I was on time for, that i wasn't allowed to enter the store. Which he had 2 days to let me know not to come in, buy yea.

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.
