Pros

Sharing your knowledge with clients. Great co-workers.

Cons

Managers often made my job harder by with their pettiness and terrible organization. I was often ordered to do menial tasks in the warehouse or backrooms for entire shifts when 95% of my pay came from sales commissions. I would often get assigned a closing shift that went far past closing hours and was then assigned an opening shift the day after, giving me very little time to sleep and again avoiding commissions.

Thank you for your feedback. I wish you would have shared this information with HR while you were still employed so that we could assist in working through these issues. We have recently promoted several employees into Leadership roles and feel that the store as well as the associates are doing well and happy. We do wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

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.
