Pros

At the time, there was a good staff with mostly new workers but a few experienced employees with good product knowledge. This job require constant lifting and moving of 1 and 5 gallon buckets which keeps employees active. The work involves doing everything including tinting, checkout, product knowledge, loading, etc., except for managerial tasks.

Cons

Some downsides can include the store itself. Emporia is not the most busy store so there can be times when not many customers come in. In addition clothes will consistently get dirty from paint and stain products.

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.
