Pros

Salary, bi-yearly merit reviews. Medical, Dental, Retirement, Paid-Training. Always someone who can teach you something you don't know. Vacation days and flex time (sick time). Opportunities for growth as they mostly promote from within, but you will have to show dedication for it.

Cons

Poor work-life balance if you are at a store with minimal employees. Assistants are required 44 hrs and may have stuff come up outside of that to pick things up from other stores. Will often work weekends and sometimes have to make up for multiple job roles depending on your store. Due to how the hours are laid out at some stores, you may end up sometimes working more than 6 days before getting a day off sometimes if there are only 2 employees at a store.

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
