Pros

Make a lot of money from overtime and weekend pay. Pick up A LOT of home improvement knowledge. Build a great bond with fellow employees, that sticks even after leaving. Tons of room for advancement. Great benefits and holiday/vacation pay. Opportunities for bonuses - everyone can get a profit sharing and christmas bonus check.

Cons

Always short-handed, understaffed. Upper management micromanages. Required to long hours, with minimal breaks. Call-ins are frequent for call-offs.

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
