Pros

Commission based means potential to earn big bucks if you have repeat clients. Really good job to develop interpersonal skills and develop selling technique. Great benefits - medical, dental, vision, legal -- Even for part timers.

Cons

Salaries are wildly varied, some people make double or triple what others make. Working here is more of a transient job, people come and go very quickly. Hours are long, especially if you have a manager that is OCD.

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.
