Pros

Laid back, great vacation package, flexible and easy to learn the procedures.

Cons

Not enough hours per store; could use more for coverage. Crazy overnight hours for pricing, and some projects have a lot more steps added to them, they could cut out time by condensing how they want programs completed. Shipments that are sent in are sometimes damaged and counts are off, need to have more attention to detail at the distribution warehouse.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
