Pros

You gain customer service, sales, operation, and financial experience. You management a small staff, so you are able to build lasting relationships throughout the years.

Cons

Our district has been consistently short staff. The upper management turnover is high so you have to continuously prove yourself. When it comes to promotions, they already have the person in mind so there is no need to apply if you didn't receive the telephone call to apply. There is no transparency. Sales and the pressure to open up new charge accounts are the number one priorities currently. Rain, sleet, hurricane, and snow...we are open. They preach safety but they want the store open. Absolutely no work life balance when the whole district is short staff.

Pros

Able to manage projects, help clients with painting questions, great training program, great culture, the job itself was really fun and different.

Cons

The ONLY reason I left was because of the work life balance. There were times I worked open to close 10 days in a row. If you're short staffed, it's on you to run the store. Which is stressful when you have a line of customers out the door waiting for product.

Good place to learn sales - then leave. You must be young and attractive to succeed.

They are too Bureaucratic to understand the day-to-day work.
