Pros

Bonuses/hourly wage, good experience & knowledge to gain in the hardware/big-box retail industry, great potential for internal growth (especially for anyone with little to no college education)

Cons

Awful benefits package, no regard for work-life balance, severely understaffed and poorly run company in all aspects from store locations to distribution centers to the corporate headquarters. Privately-owned by an out-of-touch and unethical 80-something year old cry baby.

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
