      Pros

      Plenty of free easy shopping center parking. PERIOD - nothing else.

      Cons

      Let me list SOME: Poor pay ($4 per hr + 2% of sales + 10% for protection plans) - Do the math, you need to sell thousands if you want good pay. I will tell you this, you will never that much. They want you to watch for shoplifters because the company is CHEAP (even a craft store that is next door, that really does not carry expensive items, hires an off duty state cop), you get paid ONLY $4 /hr for 2hrs in the morning shift (don't work morning shifts cause you will only make $8 !!!!), they require constant facing of products on shelves and stocking of shelves, no internal promotions to other deptmts unless you can sell a lot and will require inter-dept reassessment, constant manager & customer kissing, store meetings almost always concern selling more, plans & store numbers and store ranking against other locations, ALL management AND home office have NO close interpersonal relations with the employees - always distant. That's some of the major cons.

      We would like to thank you for more than 10 years of service. We also appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us. Without knowing the store/location you are referring to we cannot address your concerns with management. I would encourage you to reach out to your location leaders with your listed cons to better understand the following... 1) your compensation plan, 2) an associate's role in securing the merchandise, and 3) the requirement for promotion at your location. Once again, since you didn't list your location, we cannot discuss with management the lack of interpersonal relationships. In most cases you have a District Manager and a Regional HR to address your concerns, if your concerns are not being met at the location level. Please take the time to communicate your concerns to make a better environment for everyone. Sincerely, Leslie Whitley, Regional HR.

      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.
