Pros

Awesome company! Fair pay with the opportunity to earn more with commission on selling Extended Service Protections and Inside Tracking Club Memberships with every sale. Training is easy and managers are professional. TREMENDOUS opportunity for growth as the plan is to open many more stores. They promote from within and have a proven history of doing so. This company seems to be great at hiring individuals who like teamwork and are enthusiastic!

Cons

So far everything is great and I am happy I chose to work here as opposed to other retailers who offered me positions.

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.
