Pros

Excellent employee benefits, ya get to work with tools, employees get 20% anything in the store, no exclusions.

Cons

In 3 years they like to push their associates out the door because every year you're there, your time off gets multipled, if you hoard it, the company 'forces" you to take a check if it gets to a certain point. Managers got an extra paycheck every 2 weeks on-top of their normal paycheck, and who can't argue with an extra 2gs minimum. (I was shown this first hand, as it was getting rubbed in my face by my sales manager and my store manager)

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. As a people-first company, we value the work/life balance of our Associates, and we encourage them to take time off, but refusal to do so is not a basis for termination. We understand the importance of a clear and fair time-off policy, and we strongly encourage our Associates to connect with their HR Partners for any clarification regarding company policies. Supervisors and Managers receive bonuses based on performance, and this has been transparently explained in their job descriptions for anyone to see. However, we strive to maintain a respectful and professional work environment for all our Associates, and matters of workplace culture are very important to us. Your comments will be forwarded to senior leadership. Thank you for your time in Selinsgrove, PA, and we wish you all the best.

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.
