Pros

Good consistent hours. you start very early in the morning unloading trucks which is physical but not too difficult. Supervisors are good and concerned about the store's success meaning they are also interested in what you can add

Cons

Too many supervisors: there is the employee, then the assistant shift leader, and shift leader, and team leader, and assistant team leader, manager, assistant manager, general manager and manager of the day. must be submissive to everyone for the first year

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
