Pros

The team that you work with is awesome, and co-workers are usually like-minded younger folks into technology. Management is close and helps develop you into a competent salesperson. The money you can make is insane so long as you keep working the job consistently and don't get sidetracked throughout the day.

Cons

Very low base pay, so if you want a job where it's very relaxed and there's no pressure for you to do anything, then this isn't the job for you. Management is very direct at times so if you don't handle constructive criticism well, then you will dislike management. Retail schedule makes for little free time on weekends.

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.
