Pros

It's a job if you're desperate

Cons

Variable shifts that start anywhere from 4:00 am to 1:00pm. You work every weekend and every and holiday. Never get two days off in a row and they can schedule 8 or 9 days in row when they're short staffed. The work is very strenuous and laborious too. Doesn't matter if your exhausted from their unethical scheduling practices or the constant interruptions from customers. Make sure you do things fast and accurately or you will be reprimanded.

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.
