Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Unreal expectations., Fall guy for anything that happens in the store, Creative input is strictly disallowed. District managers that are narcissists who refuse to be wrong and care nothing about quality of life for workers, "lead" by fear and uneasiness. Writeups and firings are encouraged and seen as a sense of accomplishment rather than seeing associates grow and succeed. Morale is non-existent.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
