Pros
- Decent Pay - Consistent Hours
Cons
As a young college grad they will sell you the dream. It’s all a facade. It’s surprising colleges allow that stuff on their campus. Depending upon what market you are in this may never happen. Promotion is rare, again, depending upon your market. You spend all this money to get a college education and actual skills only to end up in a Home Depot. There is zero marketing and hardly any sales. It’s retail sales, the customers who come in either know what they want, or are just browsing. You will spend 90% of your day down stocking, reorganizing shelves, or doing demo days, which are completely counterproductive to other things you need to be doing. It is an easy job once you get the hang of it. Empty promises, super long commute & CONSTANT turnover. After a couple months they ask for a positive review on this site. If you have nothing else lined up post grad, go for it. It’s good pay for a new grad. I’d caution on turning down other offers for this one. I worked with plenty of smart people who were stuck in the first role for years because they were consistently denied promotion due to clear favoritism. You’ll begin to realize they boast about their training team doing constant trainings for new hires. The reason for so many new hire trainings isn’t because their people are being promoted, it’s because they are quitting.
