Pros

401k medical paid vacation opportunity to move up if you work hard and have a college degree.

Cons

Overworked Managers work 48 hours as a minimum Understaffed Fight with hub dispatch to get simple orders delieved Fight with credit about why charge accounts are locked out Fight with DM about why you aren't spending 2 hours looking for painters in home depots parking lot Fight with rude obnoxious painters about things that are usually their fault ie peeling paint isn't the paints fault you put latex over oil! I'm not paging you to fix it. Doing 50 stupid pointless sales calls every week because your sales force stinks.

Pros

Store employees can be a pleasure to work with. Great benefits and 401K options. Promotions are available but its a very linear ladder.

Cons

For what is expected pay is exceptionally low. Lead generation sales calls make it almost impossible to concentrate on managing your store. Especially the quantity that are required on a weekly basis. That said, most stores are understaffed which compounds the problem. Long hours, difficult clientele, and did i mention pay is not nowhere near what it should be for what is expected. No company parties, nothing at all. Really? How do you keep a team environment when there's no interaction.
