Pros

Flexible work schedule, Management is very forgiving when it comes to learning the ropes. Learning about tools and their uses, customers really rely on you.

Cons

When it gets packed, expect to not take breaks and late lunches, high turn around. Pay is stagnant. Everyone but management and couple long time workers are part-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.
