Pros

Pay is higher than many in Retail, but Costco much better option. Can find some good relationships with customers if you are a responsible person.

Cons

Medical insurance is pricey, no support from Management to do your job or help train new employees. At Store in Winston, definitely have bad Manager. Central Quoting is a real mess. They require you to contact customers within 48-hours of details with pricing and both details are not returned by Regional Flooring Install partner and Central Quoting is always slow and leaving elements off of estimates thus making you have to comb through each estimate for ensuring missing items are sold. This slows process of response to 4-5 days and yet they hold you to responding in 48-hours. Impossible plus understaffing departments and store with no time to focus on Sales quotes.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
