Pros

You get to work around the latest tech which is awesome if you're a nerd. Health benefits are pretty nice and you can make some serious money if you work hard and sell a lot, especially warranties.

Cons

They micromanage the hell out of you. A certain assistant manager will threaten to make you a cashier if your numbers slip a bit. They played favorites while I was there but I have friends who have worked there for over 5 years. Its nearly impossible to get into the department you want unless you brown nose or know someone personally. I had people hired in my department long before me who knew nothing about what they were selling.

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
