      Pros

      Very Flexible, Understanding, moderate quality of people. Great Benefits for full time employees.

      Cons

      High Demanding on product sorted/pushed out. Relationships are objectively based on performance. Clientele is terrible, but i suppose that's retail. High management has no sense of amount of work/time are needed to complete a task that is not seen as difficult. Co-workers are older simply due to the fantastic benefits they obtain, and have no really motivation to get tasks done right or but up with things.

      Work Here if you like selling Replacement Plans

      Pros

      The hiring process was quick, I liked being around tools, there was a lot of employee handbook material for me to learn more about the tools and how the store is supposed to operate, and some of my coworkers and managers were fun to work with. Also, there is no overtime (except for the store manager, who works endless hours), so you can have a life outside of work.

      Cons

      I didn't like that we had to sell replacement plans and memberships by any means necessary and the employee handbooks with product information wasn't given to me by management, I found it myself after working there for almost a year (I guess that turnover is so high that management didn't bother to print the material out for each new employee).
