Pros

It can be a fun experience if you are a part of a great team and manager. It`s an easy job most days, the company developed a system that really doesn't require you to have any previous experience. The store lay out and finding things is pretty simple and the POS system is simple. And because of that, college kids and 20somethings typically make up the majority of their store work force in most not supervisory positions. A good amount of freedom because you do deliveries or you can find yourself in the store alone at times because everyone else is on the road. You can learn a lot about business functions You can learn and interact with a lot of different people and different types of businesses

Cons

Boys Club The ones that do the most physical work get paid the least Raises are hard to come by, even if you`ve been there for years, people usually only get them if they put in their 2 weeks notice,,,and from my experience, if the person doesn`t get offered a raise after a 2 weeks notice then it is because they where happy you`re leaving. Not many options to go up the ladder, you may make it to becoming a store manager but when most positions open up, they usually have someone in mind to place there. The position only gets posted because legally they have to post the position.
