Pros

Wholesale prices for employees One percent commission on all sales Room for growth if you want to stay with the company

Cons

No benefits, no PTO, you need to request time off at least a month ahead of time, 99% of clientele are tradesmen, so if you're a woman you're going to feel out of place all the time. Stores get very slow at times and it's mind numbingly boring. Dealer stores have no HR so managers may feel free to talk to you however they please.
