Pros

The pay is decent at $8.40 (if I recall correctly) starting wage and an additional $2 an hour on the weekends. Somewhat flexible with hours.

Cons

They will regularly schedule you for 7 1/2 hour shifts so that they are not required to give you a lunch. If you are a cashier, you will be standing on concrete floors for hours on end doing mind numbingly monotonous tasks, with most likely two 10 minute breaks and an occasional 30 minute lunch if you work over eight hours. The clientele is predominantly white trash, senile seniors and unjustifiably angry contractors. I suppose that's to be expected from a hardware store, though.

Pros

Good pay. Most coworkers are excellent to work with.

Cons

Scheduling is horrible. Work til 10 pm and have to be back in at 6 am. Store management plays favorites and talks smack about non favorites and Promotes accordingly Doesnt recognize Team memebers for jobs well done. Belittling. Unprofessional.
