Pros

The pay is amazing, even if you are not the top earner. The top earners at a couple stores make six figures. Your fellow employees are your lifeline. Joking, talking, they will keep you sane. If you like talking to and helping customers you will love this job.

Cons

The hours are awful. Forget about any work-life balance, even though the company will try to tell you at every turn that that is what they are about. Fellow employees can sometimes be cut-throat when it comes to taking a sale you started. Sometimes things can get heated. Usually, though it's laid back. The company is throwing more and more back-breaking work at you and taking more time away from sales. You are almost more of a warehouse worker now.

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.
