Pros

Good benefits, solid work environment, lots of product training opportunities. Employee discount is always nice.

Cons

Vague job responsibilities for Sales Lead. The position sits between management and floor staff. Frequently asked to do management level work without the same compensation. Difficult to move up within company. Easier to move into management coming from an outside role.

Pros

Respectful management, team atmosphere, opportunity to grow within the company, great customers, tons of employee resources, Prodeal discounts.

Cons

Membership goals. I have seen hard working, knowledgeable employees have hours reduced because of the membership goals. It doesn't seem like product knowledge plays into how important you are to the team.
