Pros

Always room to grow due to turnover rates. Always tasks to be completed as there's always issues left unresolved. You'll never be left guessing what to do with micromanaging.

Cons

Far too chaotic and unpredictable scheduling. Turnover is really high, always short staffed. Overburdened with additional duties that build up swiftly. Favoritism is incredibly noticable. Delegation of duties to individuals who shouldn't be given them, while avoiding actual decision-making situations.

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.
