Overall good

Pros

The pay is competitive and the extra on weekends is great. The yearly Christmas bonus was nice as well! You learn a lot about basic home repair, so it's a good job for college students.

Cons

Inefficient management structure and the points system is incredibly restrictive. Very easy to rise in the ranks which sometimes made for managers who should have had more training. Managers will sacrifice any of their subordinates' hours due to constant payroll cuts, and will do anything to get their bonuses. Like it or not (I don't like it!) the main incentive for management is their bonuses, so when corporate threatens that, they'll do anything to keep it even if the action hurts the store overall.

Pros

Good pay and bonuses for managers. Fairly easy promotion path. Home improvement experience and contractor networking.

Cons

Terrible health insurance. No 401k match. Medium sized company making large company money, trying to operate like they are still small. Bully mentality gets passed down from corporate to middle management. Very conservative values. (Strict on piercings, tattoos, colored hair) Poor safety and neglect of worker well-being. No fridge or proper break room.

Pros

Learn basic home repairs Competitive pay

Cons

Full time is a promotion so weekly hours tend to be close to be just under 35. After Christmas hours are cut and will likely be sent home before shift ending time. Very little room for growth without corporate connections
