      Pros

      Vast opportunities for overall development, amazing benefits and q great corporate support team. It is a great family environment where you are proud to work for a 145-year old company.

      Cons

      Often times communication gets lost from division to division. We all have common organizational goals, we should make it easier to more readily share information.

      Pros

      Monday through Friday 8-5 work schedule. No weekends! (Very unusual for retail management) Pay is OK. Benefits are good. 401 K is really good. Some travel in beginning. Co-workers were helpful at first..... MTP's are in line to be a Store Manager within a 12-18 months.

      Cons

      Very physical job. Lots of manual labor. Unloading trucks. Stocking. Mixing paint. (You will sweat and be tired at the end of the day) You will do all the unloading/stocking/checking in product by yourself. STAR orders can be a pain. Phone rings pretty much the entire day. I had sorry co-workers at my store. Not much teamwork. Slack coworkers at times. Customers are a pain. DM's are clueless. Initial training will be at another location/city. Stay in a hotel room for 2 months. Travel can be a pain. Training in Atlanta, Philly, Cleveland. Product knowledge is hard to learn and lots of it. Very technical stuff. Returns are a pain. Old/outdated computer system. Inventory days/nights where you count entire store. (you do get some overtime) No women in this line of business. All male. 100% Very strict on Overtime. You are expected to only get 40 hours unless traveling or inventory days. You will have to relocate in order to become a Store Manager. Overall, the MTP program is apparently very new to this division of SW. It's not very good. Not organized right and why can't you train in the store where you will work?
