Pros

Pros: •Great Coworkers •Decent Benefits (CompTIA compensation, school reimbursement, co-pay on dental, medical, health insurance.) •Pay (also a con)

Cons

Cons: •Zero Flexibility (no part-time even though management offered that we were able to do that once school began) •Awful On-boarding process •Management expectations are unrealistic and their values contradict each other •Pay (because it is a commission based structure pay is based on how efficient you manage your time) •PTO is only useable after 6 months along with most benefits •Forced to meet a variety of quotas such as selling security solutions. (You will be coached about it if you don’t meet minimum requirements) •Constant petty backlash from managers through emails •HR? (not very helpful)

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.
