Pros

Good pay if expert in certain area, pretty flexible hours, some managers are really nice, good customers if in expert area. Golf was byfar the nicest ran area.

Cons

Head management was no good, bad if trying to transfer stores, not enough people working in certain sections (had to cover multiple sections atleast 10 times).

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
