Pros

They have insurance, some work-life benefits, and you can advance in positions.

Cons

You will be understaffed and overworked. In my personal experience they had me running an entire store, alone for 13/hr, with no security or backup, and no breaks. You will be forced to take on mass amounts of product knowledge in a very short amount of time. You will be doing manager level work regardless of if you're a manager or not. They use outdated and frustrating data systems. And on top of it all, I believe they recently slashed 401k match!

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
