Pros

A lot of room for advancement and the company supports growth as long as you execute the company plan. The customer base is amazing and the most loyal customers I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The company structure is a pay for performance environment and if you execute the company plan and follow the rules the reward is very nice.

Cons

Distribute more payroll for training purposes. .

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.
