Thank you for sharing your comments with us. Feel free to reach out to your leaders as well as your Regional HR Manager with any questions about expectations so that we can work with and coach you to be successful. We can help you if we have more details. We do want associates to succeed and grow and many of our most successful sales associates have worked their way up starting in Operations and then moving through our five sales areas and some have decided to pursue leadership opportunities. We appreciate your service very much. Angie Miller - VP - HR

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.
