Pros

money is good, good enough that it's difficult to leave because you will make less elsewhere. company generally seems interested in doing what's right by employees.

Cons

I have never been told to do more with less. extremely limited hours for store,dm destroys morale with every visit. condescending and dismissive. lack of support. lots of lip service.

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.
