Pros

One of the best part-time jobs I've ever had. Store Manager in my store is outstanding and sets such a positive atmosphere with his consistent expectations and no favoritism, also one of the funniest guys you'd ever meet. He takes the time to role-play with associates to help us gain additional earnings with protection plan spiffs

Cons

Too much is being asked of us to work late after hours (midnight to 6 am) with no additional compensation as other companies in the area do.

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.
