Pros

The company has doubled in size since I started and is expected to be a $7+ B organization in the next 5 years. Opportunity to help "build" the company. Great bonuses if you perform. Work with very smart people looking to make an impact!

Cons

Not always a great work/life balance! Systems are not what they should/need to be for a company of this size. Still fairly high turnover but has improved drastically and the owner and executive team are very focused on continued improvement.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
