Pros

good team that gets stuff done, incentives and the team celebrates small wins often. coworkers are great and the managers listen

Cons

a little bit of micromanaging going on sometimes and people steal ALL THE TIME. makes the store feel unsafe to work at. two people close and it's not enough, especially on the weekends

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.
