Pros

Weekend pay is great, pretty steady hours in summer. Very rarely run out of things to do and almost always busy.

Cons

In winter the payroll is slashed and there becomes a struggle for hours. Constant berating by customers for their own mistakes. Management usually backs down and sides with customer when special order contracts clearly state all terms.

Pros

It has good advancement opportunities if you are willing to relocated anywhere you want. Also, the profit sharing is pretty good add on.

Cons

You have to work every other weekend guaranteed. The more you advance the more hours you are required to put in. 44 hrs ast. dpt mgr., 48 hrs dpt mgr, and 55 hrs a week for general managers. Also corporate isnt very loyal to its general managers who don't meet "sales expectations". They are constantly demoted every you look from a GM down to a DM. Then to advance again they have to be willing to relocate again. Not a lot of trust.

Pros

They offer a higher hourly rate for part-timers than most places in the area that I live. I have heard that it is much the same in every area that they have a location.

Cons

The way that they offer employee discounts could use some work. You can get the 10% discount on items up to the amount that you have earned but not been paid for yet. This makes it hard for part-timers to effectively use their discount on larger items.
