Pros

Opportunity to earn extra money through spiffs, spectacular management that really take the time to train and coach their employees, full benefits after a year of employment for part-timers, in general very easy job and very laid back environment. Great hours during parking lot sale. Growing company with a lot of potential.

Cons

As I said, it is a very easy job, but sometimes it can be too easy. You kind of get trapped up front as a cashier without very much to do and the hours can be spotty at times.

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.
