Pros
You work with some fantastic people and gain a lot of knowledge into the paint world. You meet lot of people on a daily basis and see into how they live and different tastes and interests that walk through the door. You're closed on holiday.
Cons
Management is a joke, they removed bonuses for full time employees and gave them "raises" that were about ten cents. It was "only fair, really" was the explanation that was received. Most managers in the company have horrible attitudes and are only concerned with themselves. Positions are prettied up so that when you actually are working in that position, you feel like a fool for believing you weren't lied to. It's next to impossible to schedule work schedules, vacations, time off. If you're not a manager or assistant manager, expect to be working every Christmas Eve, and every holiday that we're open "but get an extra day off during the week to compensate for." No time and a half for working said holidays, just "a day off during the middle of the week." Long hours, constantly being yelled at by contractors because our prices are ridiculous for what we offer, and always being thrown under the bus because "it's more important that your manager look good than you." MTPs are worthless, and the program is a joke. Honestly, I could go on forever about how ridiculous this company is, but what's the point? They won't change and they've made us all aware of that.
