Pros

Coming from a larger, more regulated global company, with larger more sophisticated infrastructure systems, the biggest pro to me is that the place feels more like a small business. Very flat organizationally so not a lot of layers to get to the decision makers (which is yourself most of the time). Everyone has been very helpful. Ownership of your area is a fundamental principal here, so accountability is built into the culture. You are allowed to be very self-reliant but not in an isolating kind of way. You are also encouraged to try new things and if they don't work it's OK. Mistakes are not held over you, the past is the past and the focus of this company is on the future.

Cons

Being a smaller company, a few of the benefits are not quite at the level I was used to but will be very adequate for many. There are also benefits that many other companies don't have like store discounts. The physical environment is no frills and outdated but perfectly adequate to do your job.

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.
