Pros

When I first started with the company, the store Manager AND area manager at the time compensated my salary based on my performance handsomely, and was very supportive towards career advancement. Great benefits, great hours, great customer interactions. If you have proven to be a asset to the company they will work around your schedule.

Cons

New management makes a huge difference. With current economy costs the salary compensation is low considering if you have a family, inflation is continuously rising, and current new store management/ and area management does not guide/or support career advancement. If management does not like you, they will attempt finding any reason to fire you unless you can defend/protect yourself.

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.
