Pros

Quick advancement, free food on parcking lot sales7

Cons

This place is a joke and a con at its best. They are always saying how it is the best place to work, how good they pay you, and that your home work life balance is great! All lies! They will use you, lie to you, manipulate you and expect you to be greatful for the "opportunity" to alloe them to do so. That place is as big of a joke as the owner who claims to have built the company when it was actually his dad who did everything.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
