Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We would not be able to achieve all that we do without hardworking Associates like you. We believe in constantly improving in all areas and all levels, which is why we have now introduced an “early access to pay” program that allows you to receive a portion of your earned wages ahead of payday. Thank you for your feedback and best of luck with your career journey.

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.
