Pros

Dynamic corporate team from assistants to VPs to the C-level execs. It's amazing to see a group of established and brilliant people be so willing to put their egos aside and all work to solve problems together.

Cons

Not for everyone. Success is dependent on having passion for your role, being willing to speak up and share ideas, and enjoying close relationships with your team and cross functional groups.

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.
