      Pros

      if you like tools, its cool to be around all of. the products. Nothing else though

      Cons

      management was unprofessional in every way you could imagine. no communication, last-minute schedules and changes, do not care about employees' work-life balance for example will schedule you to close and thenschedule you to be in at 6 am. Quickly will get burnt out. Many of the products are cheap and break so there are many returns. environment is not friendly I had a manage who constantly bullied every employee. No consideration for employee safety. They tried to make me clean feces from the bathroom floor when the drains got backed up. Sent me home not even halfway into a shift when I told management I wouldn't do it and they needed to call a professional. Racism is obvious and abundant. Promotoions only exist if you are and older white male. Discount is not even worth it

      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.
