Pros

Somewhat flexible hours but absolutely no work/life balance. To continue working here you have to be married to your job. You can move up as long as you know how to network yourself (aka.. cozy up to the right people).

Cons

Absolutely no direction or company vision. The company has it's hands tied and will not grow. The big box days are a thing of the past... get in, get the experience and get out.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
