Cons

if you are not a independent worker this is not the job for you. you must want to hit the grind to make money and you cant have fear of people this is a people job every thing can be learned and it takes time so dont think you will walk in and make 100000 a year it takes about 2 years to get there.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
