Pros

One pro about the job is the personal relationships with the customers. Being able to take care of peoples need is great. You become very attatched to the customers, and they become friends instead of opportunities to make money. I love that fact. I always feel sales doesn't come from how good of a salesman you are, but through honesty, integrity, and concern you have for the person coming into the store. You don't go to a certain store because the guys a good salesman, you go to the store because of the deals and great help you recieve through projects you have to accomplish. Also knowing each person is knowledgable and a credible honest, hardworking person as yourself.

Cons

Management does not care about anything but numbers.....i've worked for the company for 4 years, and I almost don't think they want you around more than that. I've tried to apply for management jobs and they hired some random guys straight from college instead. I actually tried for the position, called the MTP program, because I just graduated, but some other guys got the position. My interview was short and I swear he wrote me off right in the beginning. I stated my dedication to the company, and how hard I would work. When I usually talk to management they act like I haven't been working for them this long. I think they want new, outside employees for fresh outlook's. That's great, but you have to treat your current employees better in my opinion. I guess that's business though.

Pros

Work schedule works great with school schedule. Management was awesome regarding questions from new employees and they were very patient during the learning process. Very active paced work days.

Cons

No air conditioning in the warehouse, and during the summer days I would recommend bringing an extra SW shirt. No room for growth unless you find another location to find an Assistant Manager position to fill.

Pros

The work is fast-paced but not as demanding as other jobs with similar pay. The employees are usually good to work with. The environment is fun and there are many ways to get promoted.

Cons

It may be difficult to work with some of the customers at times which can may work hard at times. Some management may make the work place to competitive in respect to having a team work environment.
