Pros

As many hours as you want just about, always something to keep you busy, fun co workers, will work with your schedule, discount on things in the store, and friendly management.

Cons

There isn't a whole lot of bad, except their POS system and things get kind of boring sometimes. Their POS system is very old, people kept saying that they would be getting new computers and systems. I was told that would happen months ago and it has not. The system is so old it is confusing. Also, the work sometimes is mindless. Like SRR. If you like something that keeps you busy and entertained, this is not for you. But if your just looking for something to fill the time and don't really mind doing mindless work, then it's not to bad. Also, if you're working at a register, anytime you need a return, a pickup, change or have a tax exempt(mind you, you have these a LOT!) you have to call for a manager, wait on them to finish what their doing, and have them come up to the register, while the customer waits, sometimes for longer than need be amounts of time.

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.
