Pros

Unlikely to be laid off which is a boon in this current job market, the winter season can be relaxing, benefits are good. I've liked most of my managers and coworkers. PTO is good, I've had better but it's a lot for retail.

Cons

Pay isn't good enough. You are working cashier, ware house, translator, inventory, competitor spy, call center, and janitor all at once. Every store I've worked at my assistant manager has called me during my time off. Breaks do not exist. Sundays you open to close by yourself even during the summer when it is extremely busy. And the summers are really busy if you work in a city. Unsafe warehouses. Customers are weirdly entitled and think they can go into your warehouse, office, wherever they want. We still taking cards over phone which i think every other business in the world has stopped doing.

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.
