Pros

- You get to work with new technology and learn a lot about them - Friendly environment - Easy to move up (sales floor) if you are good at your job - Everyone plays Clash of Clans

Cons

- Hourly pay for all sales members is $4/hr + commission. (If you work a truck shift your not making much money) - Constant pressure to meet your goals - Some managers will have you do "busy work" when its slow and there is nothing else to do. - A lot of customers feel entitled - More physical labor than other sales jobs - You are not valued as an employee to upper-management and are seen as expendable regardless of your performance - Management prefers to out source job before considering internal employees for a raise

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
