Pros

Pay rate, working for a big box company, ability to manage a multi million dollar store for a billion dollar company

Cons

Hours are very long. Sometimes you are expected to make sacrifices of personal time to get work done. Very demanding job

Pros

The company itself is okay, many of the associates are nice, most of the managers are friendly, company policies are normal, pay is decent.

Cons

Managers played favorites, talked alot about other associates behind associates backs, not professional, your good work usually went unnoticed, over looked for promotions.

Pros

Generally, an "OK" place to work. Clientele is a "want" type of customer vs. a "need" type of customer and is receptive to personal help which makes selling the product fun.

Cons

The company has changed a lot over the past 4 years going to a more cookie cutter type of philosophy vs allowing managers to be a merchant. Upper level management does not communicate with store management well and the sense of security and satisfaction with your work has somewhat gone away.
