      Pros

      Strong name recognition, quite competent store level employees, carries hard to find items overlooked by the big boxes, with good ownership - integrates itself into a community, great customers mostly as well as great co-workers. (Depends upon the store)

      Cons

      Long hours, no real chance to advance beyond a store manager unless you buy yourself a store. Some inconsistencies which comes from independent ownerships. Some of the products selected by corporate aren't necessarily chosen for the 'right' reasons. A level of disconnect from Oak Brook mind think and the store mind think.

      A decent place to work if you don't mind lots of motivational posters all over the place

      Pros

      Lots of time off, ability to work from home when needed, not held very accountable for much. Awesome if you are lazy and don't mind being a bit underpaid.

      Cons

      Tough to get promotions, company is shrinking @ 150+ stores per year- you can see the writing on the wall, Ace Hardware won't be a vialble company in the long run.
