Pros

There's a lot of growth potential in this company.

Cons

This is a field where you start from the bottom 99% of the time. That means a lot of physical labor, hard work, and long retail hours. There's nothing wrong with working hard but a lot of people are surprised at how much is involved in this job. Also, this company stresses diversity but the field is predominantly white males. Very rarely are there minorities or women. They are trying their hardest to make it as diversified as possible, though.

Pros

Managers helped me realize career goals by openly discussing the path that I was interested in. People are hired with future potential in mind, not just the job at hand. I had an extremely positive experience and would recommend working there to anyone. Although it is a huge corporatation it still feels like a family run business.

Cons

Many times in order to advance you must be open to relocate to a new city.

Pros

They train employees very well. Good pay. Good training cds. Were good to work for the majority of he time. Kept store fairly clean.

Cons

Working Sundays was a big downside. Over price things. I would guess around 60 percent margin mark up. I had to use my personal vehical for work related things. I felp like they should have reimbursed me for mileage or somethig like that. Too slow in advancing newer employees. Never had casual Friday or on weekends. Had problems with Payroll in giving me the money I was entitled to. No training on faux finishing so we could help custoers in that area.
