Pros

Very laid back in the building material department. Everyone was kind and helped you get work done. Good hours in the Summer.

Cons

The only way to move up in the company is by being liked and popular in all departments. Even their employee of the month is based on how well you get along with other departments, not how well you work in your own department. It felt like the only way to move up in the company was by taking GMs out to lunch.

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.
