Pros

The team members that work there tend to be very versatile and knowledgeable for the most part. Everyone is very hardworking and good at their job.

Cons

The company does not have a very good structure of leadership. They try to run the stores as if they are a true big box store but it more of a mid box. 75% of their sales come from the last few weeks of the year for christmas that the rest of the year you are running on barebones. There are never team members in the store and they make the assistant managers work like Team Members. The Assistant Managers seem like a Department Supervisor position and the Store manager an Assistant because the District managers MicroManager the stores. Things that are suppose to get done never do because they make a million priorities and there is no staffing to do it besides you.. the Assistant Manager, and they expect you to run a business also!

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
