Pros

Pay, experience, store appreciation, management lunches

Cons

Felt like family atmosphere but I was wrong, they will drop you in a heartbeat. HR and upper management will lie to keep themselves safe even when practice is wrong, a lot is overlooked, turnover rate is high because they move the favorites and if your doing well in your department even if you rather switch they will promise but not move, demotion for many managers I’ve seen over the years because of lack of seeing potential and more on who is willing to step on who to get there, complaints not taken seriously, will bend over backwards for customers even when they abuse the policy’s and the more they complain the more they recieve(customers know that). I’ve seen great managers be completely destroyed because they are scared of retaliation, long hours for salaried management and inconsistent schedules

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
