Pros

Super fun environment Gets to work with new tech hardware Amazing store management

Cons

Things have been changing in the company in a way that is very clearly trying to get rid of people who expect a living wage. They want to be able to pay sales associates much less than they have been getting in years past for the same amount of work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for your good rating. I'm happy you enjoyed your store and the environment there. We do occasionally make changes as a Company following our decision triangle in implementing those changes. We recognize that customers love our associates and that's why we're still here - our associates are what differentiates us. We strive to continue to pay above average wages in our retail, commissioned sales environment as our Company wins when our associates win. We are looking forward to opening new stores this year and we hope you will continue to shop with us. Best wishes in your future endeavors, Angie Miller VP-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.
