Pros

Great pay for hard work Great schedule Fun Its physical You feel accomplished. Always new stuff to learn

Cons

Its like being in High school with all the drama... everyone who you trade off with for the following shift complain about doing even the bare minimum but then complain to supervisors about you no matter how much you do and how clean you leave it for them and then they purposely leave things in a giant mess for you to clean up to "teach you a lesson" and there's a lot of folks that have been there forever (again. It really is a great job) but they're rude, and won't help you. They complain about everything. And it just really feels a lot like high school so just keep your head down and you're good to go.

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.
