Pros

This company offers a mediocre base salary

Cons

District and Regional managers are tripping over each other to get out of this company. I cant believe there are 2+ stars. Horrible leadership, extreme micromanagement, culture that focuses on the negative, no authority to approve work (no matter how small) or help customers.

Pros

If one comes from a retail background, the majority of weekends off and the ability to take time off around Thanksgiving and Christmas are nice perks.

Cons

One will perpetually be yelled at by customers, since the District Manager becomes the first line of defense for every upset customer in the district. You will have to work in the elements, as cutting locks in the heat of the summer/cold of the winter and running auctions in the torrential downpours is a regular portion of the job. There is nearly zero ability to innovate or think critically, as every aspect of the job is process oriented and one, therefore, merely becomes focused on endless tasks. If I had to guess, the company advertises the salary on each job posting because they would not get any applications for the position otherwise, and certainly wouldn't be able to retain good people if it did not pay better than many from the retail background - from which they recruit - are used to being compensated. There is simply not any satisfying aspects of the job itself.
