Pros

Well, I was able to pay the rent, but that's about it

Cons

Where do I begin? The management seems to enjoy treating their employees like a bunch of first graders. Rediculous hours, constant beratement and threats of termination. The only training I got was how to not get the store sued. Department managers demanding I work in their departments, not my own, then I would be reprimanded for leaving my post. The management at these stores really needs to pull it together and get off the ego trip.

Pros

The job offers great benefits, and you have the opportunity to learn a lot about different home improvement skills as well as get a better understanding of general contracting as a whole, if you apply yourself. Most fellow associates are kind and helpful and fantastic to work with, really fostering the idea that corporate likes to push of being a 'family'.

Cons

You will be worked hard with a skeleton crew and given every excuse under the sun by management as to why even the simplest improvements can't be done, Customers are generally nice, but there are a fair amount of them that will abuse or insult you for not knowing everything about everything in the store. Favoritism definitely thrives there, with people possessing better skills being passed over for opportunities by people who are more chummy with the right people.
