Pros

steady income, selling a good product, peer employees are great

Cons

terrible corporate and management structure. The district management does not act like they care about anyone but their bonus, and they will be happy to let you know they will fire you if you don't meet their ridiculous goals. I left after my 2-weeks notice and will never go back. They lost a good employee because of greed and apathy. You will work every weekend (pretty much).

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.
