Pros

The people you work with that aren't management/supervisors. You will like shopping there when your not working as it is more affordable then competing hardware stores

Cons

The micromanagement...thats says plenty...will watch you like a hawk, Roaming down aisles lurking to make sure your not doing something as simple as talking WHILE your working...they don't like that an you will be reprimanded. That store (Livonia, MI) is often the hardest hit store as far as customer volume an the management doesn't appreciate their employees despite this. They care more about the numbers an not the employees keeping their "numbers" high. Constant work overload of pallets/heavy lifting. They will make you run register even if it's not your department or initially what you were highered in to do so.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
