Supportive team and flexible schedules, but dealing with customers can be tough

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers and supervisors are awesome. Schedules are flexible, with many sick days allowed. Pay can be very good if you can sell well.

Cons

If you don't enjoy retail, dealing with customers is frustrating and mundane. 6 months minimum required to advance to the sales floor. Minimum wage if you don't manage to sell anything.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that you liked the team, the flexibility, and the earning potential. Customer service in retail definitely has its challenging days, and a base-plus-commission structure means your pay directly reflects those sales. We also appreciate your feedback on the timeline for moving to the sales floor. Wish you the best in your next role! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153

Thanks for the review. We're glad you enjoy the employee discount and the vibe of the job.

Strong Culture and Leadership Development

General manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
