Pros

The company stands behind its sales/customers. Coworkers are smart, considerate, and helpful. The cabinetry specialist position is challenging and interesting. 401K and ESPP plans are great. I learned a lot during my time in this position.

Cons

The noise and interruptions are not conducive to the concentration and attention to detail required for this position. There is no quiet space provided to work. Design software is only loaded on the computers in the department. Designers are 'basically' chained to their chairs and serve as the 'store information desk' for every customer walking by. Due to flash sales, the workload is often heavier than what can reasonably be accomplished in 40 hours and OT is rarely an option. As a result, skipped lunches and disappointed customers are the norm. No one else in the store is trained in this position and store/upper management does not understand what the job entails.

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.
