Pros

You learn a lot, fairly relaxed dress code (you can wear jeans and any shirt with a collar), decent pay.

Cons

They don't care about middle management's hours (opening early after closing late), and are proudly non-union.

Pros

- Day off every week allows for appointments and and errands during normal business hours - Plenty of walking - No previous experience or education needed - Pay rate is similar to Lowes/Home Depot, and higher than most other retail work - Relatively easy to get into management, especially if willing to relocate

Cons

- Must work every other weekend - Minimal staffing can mean a frustrating workload - Will not back pay - Pre-employment drug screening (urine) - Can be physically demanding - In-home online training is voluntary, so it is not required but also not paid for. Some subjects are very poorly covered and thus, ineffectual.

Pros

Fellow workers are helpful and nice. As long as your working they leave you alone. Don't work Sunday's or nights.

Cons

Not allot of advancement in the company available if you don't have a degree of some sort. Low pay. Management don't listen to ideas from employees.
