Thank you for sharing your input, although it concerns us that between the camaraderie of coworkers, generous benefits and comfortable work environment at the store, you were unable to find a single positive thing to say about the company-- after working with us for three years. If you were still with the company, we would have urged you to reach out to your HR representative. We hope that wherever you have moved on to, it's more agreeable for you. Good luck.

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.
