Pros

My work life balance is what I make it. I’m treated with respect and actually trained to do my job. I’m paid decently and have an amazing boss.

Cons

It’s retail scheduling… no set days off. The customers are sometimes a bit off putting and can make inappropriate comments. The learning curve on tools and having 25 different names for 1 product.

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.
