Pros

The benefits of working here full time are great. They have a good education reimbursement program but there's a catch on some of the other benefits. The work is relatively easy especially when it comes to starting out. The PTO that is given to you is reasonable but there are some exceptions with that system like blackout dates during major holidays will be denied which are understandable given the nature of the retail business they supply.

Cons

The health care is middle of the road - sometimes doesn't cover things that are needed, example prescriptions or specialists. Compensation is lower than the average for warehouse position (typical is between $17-21/hr). There's a high turnover rate. Even if they don't tell you this during an interview or not it's there. Sometimes they pick favorites when it comes to employees. Bonuses wind up bringing starting pay to what other companies may offer for the same job but the bonus opportunities are only during certain peak times and aren't always available to all.

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.
