Pros

-Base pay was pretty good -The work environment wasn't too bad -The store itself is great

Cons

-The emphasis on selling plans & getting customer capture wasn't talked about much at all in my interview, and I ended up struggling a lot with it. If I knew it was that important in this role beforehand, I probably wouldn't have taken this job offer. Managers often pulled me aside to talk due to my struggle to sell the service plans. If you apply here, make sure you're aware of this. Some may be great at this, but it just wasn't my thing. -Hours were kinda ridiculous sometimes -It's retail, so there's gonna be a few rude customers you just want out the door ASAP

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
