Pros

There are no Pro's about working for this company. It is a horrible Corporate Environment and the culture will never change, until the owner is willing to make it change.

Cons

The old saying Sh*t rolls down hill is true. It starts at the top and doesn't stop rolling until the bottom. This company does not care about its employees, it does not care how they feel. All this company cares about is lining the pockets of the upper executives and they don't care who they have to step on or destroy to do it. Good people walk away from this company feeling defeated and worthless. Upper management ego's are out of control and they are allowed to belittle anyone who disagrees with them.

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.
