Pros

Benefits are great! Co-Workers are great! Fun and Active Environment!

Cons

MICRO MANAGEMENT! There is no more freedom like there used to be. Seem to be caring less about employees and moral. Just not what it used to be and that's why I left. Who wants to work until 7pm for no reason servicing jerk contractors who act like their paint is the cure for cancer. Insane! It's like a 500 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders since leaving. So happy.

Pros

Good benefits, great job stability, good workout if your store is busy

Cons

Hours cut, sales call goals not dependent on quality but quantity, frequent price increases. Too focused on share holders and not employees and customer service, lazy managers who've all worked 10+ years, new and more company initiatives with no substance just to drive profit, upper management too disconnected from the store, budget increases but quality of work decreases b/c of part time hours cut, only 2-3% raise if you get one per year. The list could go on forever...
