Pros

The pay is decent. That’s about it.

Cons

The company lacks in developing employees. If you want to progress your career, then look at other companies. It’s a very cliquey environment. The most talented employees aren’t the ones who get promoted. I’ve never seen an executive team push their political beliefs so much on the employee base.

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.
