Pros

There's plenty of opportunity to grow professionally within this company if you are a hard worker. As a manager and assistant you can earn bonuses if you hit your store sales. High quality products make it easier to sell. Management truly cares about your success and wants you to have a work/life balance not just all hours dedicated to work. Flexible hours. Retirement plans good as well.

Cons

If you are a woman seeking employment here you need to have tough skin to deal with some of the contractors that come in and are not all exactly proper business men. Better also have no qualms about lifting some heavy equipment either! Products can get pretty heavy. There are dolly's to help but still require some muscle and tough skin.

Pros

fantastic benefits, as long as you have a degree you start as an assistant manager, can go anywhere in the united states, great management training program, decent starting salary. bonuses available.

Cons

long hours minimum of 44 hours a week must be worked. every store is understaffed so be prepared to work. late closing hours stores close at 7pm and open at 7 am so not much time to have a life. hard work a lot of lifting and constant standing and working in warehouses with no heat or a/c. majority of stores are in bad condition as far as the warehouse goes. every year you expected to do atleast 10% more in sales than previous year if you don't you get put on probation and cant get raise or promotion or transfer until the next year if you do go over 10%. all day long you get to deal with complaining customers and contractors who all complain about the exact same thing pricing.
