Pros

Good Pay, great discounts on tools and products, nice building to work in

Cons

They pride themselves on the 'Candor' but my manager routinely got mad when I brought up inefficiencies and other issues I found. Make a point to be anti-environmental, such as getting rid of ALL recycling in the building, routinely telling stores to just throw the lithium batteries in the trash instead of recycling, and banning you from bringing in any reusable containers to use on the salad bar and thus forcing you to use the crappy one-time-use plastic container. Speaking of which, the salad bar is the only thing that is actually edible for food there - I never got through a single hot meal as it was disgusting and/or was either raw on the inside or completely overcooked. I even got food poisoning twice. It's also a very Bro culture and witnessed coworkers routinely talking down to female colleagues.

Pros

Amazing culture. They are serious about their company culture. Great employee benefits.

Cons

At times you might find yourself without directions but it isn't really a company thing. It is about how much you engage with them
