Pros

It's a pay check. Most of the people are pretty nice and truly want to help you and the customer at the store level. Understaffing for many stores the plus side is can give you overtime. The store hours are not to bad but the do vary by area.

Cons

LOW PAY AND SMALL RAISES like 10 cents an hour. The in-store operations are hampered by the terrible mix of bad color matching software and the new Zero VOC colorants. The Horribly inappropriate tint machine that can take over 10 mins to dispense tint into a 5 gallon. Understaffing is the norm. They want to expand your job duties well pass your job description. I was a key carrier as an associate (the lowest paying position in the store).

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
