Pros

Commissions on selling warranties and....that's it.

Cons

Budget cuts on hours, close to minimum wage pay, numerous duties with little to no back up, pressure on following exact models and speeches to push for mailers, no appreciation for employees, takes advantage of good workers, less employees and more expectations on customer service, employee discount is almost the same as a customer's discount (if you are buying one thing-same benefit), majority of customers are mostly rude, lack courteous manners, and a brain.

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.
