Pros

co- workers are nice, commission structure is fair. discounts are nice

Cons

if you are ever unable to meet your numbers you will suffer. even if you know you are doing a great job, if the numbers don't match it doesn't matter. not to mention if you manage to forget any step of the process if management sees it you will get written up, so then you slow down your approach and make sure everything gets checked with each customer and then you are told your productivity is not doing well. this is constant and there is never a happy medium. POS system is prehistoric and has a steep learning curve. even if you are tech savvy it still wont make much sense compared to modern equivalents Oh and if you enjoy your sanity, never check your work email because overtime it will be loaded with "Coaching" emails which is them logging all of your mistakes with a passive aggressive tone

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.
