Pros

Customer service is a big part of the business and customers expect customer service. I enjoy helping customers who know what they want and those who are looking for ideas. Kent encourages the associates to have a conversation with the customers and help where needed. The company is very accommodating when it comes to family and appointments. I enjoy working at Kent, if you like to be on the go and enjoy helping people this is the place to be.

Cons

Sick calls and associates not showing up for work.
