Pros

- Day off every week allows for appointments and and errands during normal business hours - Plenty of walking - No previous experience or education needed - Pay rate is similar to Lowes/Home Depot, and higher than most other retail work - Relatively easy to get into management, especially if willing to relocate

Cons

- Must work every other weekend - Minimal staffing can mean a frustrating workload - Will not back pay - Pre-employment drug screening (urine) - Can be physically demanding - In-home online training is voluntary, so it is not required but also not paid for. Some subjects are very poorly covered and thus, ineffectual.

Pros

Good pay. Most coworkers are excellent to work with.

Cons

Scheduling is horrible. Work til 10 pm and have to be back in at 6 am. Store management plays favorites and talks smack about non favorites and Promotes accordingly Doesnt recognize Team memebers for jobs well done. Belittling. Unprofessional.
