Pros

good entry level job, and they advertise that. however, once you get out of the "entry level" range i feel there is a disconnect in career advancement, and a disconnect in salary. i guess that is part of the problem of working with big companies in general.

Cons

as mentioned above, career advancement/development is lacking. Employees are not rewarded for obtaining advanced degrees either by promotion or pay increase. lateral moves are the norm

Pros

Good work environment, products are very solid so most sell themselves. mostly quality people come into the store, DIY or contractor. Managers give time off if you give them the heads up. I like the business.

Cons

Retail, open on weekends, company isn't doing well so cutting hours. Manager isn't as solid as others. not much opportunity for growth in the near future. Working with DIY can be very stressful at times. working with some contractors can be awful because of how some treat you and think they are better than you. training is basically watching training cds and getting onto the sales floor, which is the best way to learn, but is very uncomfortable for the first few weeks.
