Good coworkers and fairly easy job

Pros

The store I worked at had great coworkers. They were always upbeat and personable. The store was going through a renovation, but the managers kept a cool head throughout and the store still did very well.

Cons

The company had a tendency to favor certain parts of the store. Copy and Print were the "most important asset" of the store, along with the printer ink and toner. The other products were second on the priority list. Sometimes, we were out of stock of something for weeks and people kept asking for it.

Overall Good Company, Strategic Leadership

Pros

Smart, foreward thinking, diverse executive leadership. Big focus on sustainability initiatives internally as well as sustainability programs/products for customers. Great job advancement opportunities or for horizontal transitions to a different type of role. Safe company to work for, especially if you're just starting out. Sales roles usually are fairly flexible.

Cons

A lot of the pros I shared depend on the managers; my managers were all fantastic and didn't micromanage, but it seems to be inconsistent across the company. The only constant is change - constantly changing commission and payment plans, sometimes for the better but rarely if ever. The company culture is "old school" so for younger employees, the internal culture is very stuffy and formal. Very much an old school company changing it's direction to meet the new needs of customers. This means growing pains for current employees but is good for customers and future employees.
