Pros

Good real world experience in running your own business unit. Relationships with other management employees. Develop good customer relationships over the years.

Cons

Long hours and days, sometimes working 6 out of 7 days. No staff to speak of because hours continue to get cut. Be lucky to find 2 employees in the store at the same time. Manager is to wear at least 5 different hats and yet still manage effectively. Manager responsible for DIY sales even though the marketing is the one to help drive those numbers. Perhaps stand on sidewalk and force them to buy paint.

Great place to start off right out of college. Great experience and top notch training. The overall package from the company is commendable.

Unless your in Cleveland, OH, you can top out fairly quickly, unless your willing to move...

Pros

Good reputation as a company. Stability over a number of years. Benefits are okay. Strong stock performance. Flexibility on an hour to hour basis.

Cons

Your good performance is a two edged sword. The other edge cuts your throat the following year when inevitable business cycles occur. Retail hours are getting longer and longer with a view to service business that probably won't buy from us anyway. Combination of longer hours and short staffing is creating a situation where we are physically unable to provide the very kind of service we claim to have.
