      Pros

      Flexible hours if you are part time in school. You learn about a wide range of products as well as gain valuable hardware knowledge. Great benefit if you ever want to more into Ace Hardware or True Value Corporate world. Physical work keeps you in shape especially during the summer.

      Cons

      Having to work weekends. The pay is pretty awful even if your stores profit is increasing. No room for growth unless you want to be a retail assistant or store manager. Stores are usually very under staffed. Very little vacation days that can't even be used when you want.

      Pros

      There are not too many.

      Cons

      Long hours; indefinite out times; no flexibility; poor communication; lack of respect for warehouse worker is built into the culture; toxic environment with petty politics and high school type drama; rules applied based on convenience and like ability and not job performance; office management is out of touch with the warehouse environment and work processes, this means implanted solutions are usually underwhelming and off track; continued feedback is requested and given but those issues are ignored over and over. Responses are band aids at best and flagrant disregard is more likely. No planning for busy season- WHERE IS THE BENCHMARKING?!; understaffed, under resourced, and over managed (with about 3 more layers of middle management than is needed). The environment is dirty, not temp controlled, warehouse staff is expected to housekeep in addition to the actual job. This job is incentive based and NOTHING is valued but faster- until you make a mistake and then you’re reminded about safety and quality.
