Pros

The people and on site management make coming to work a blast every day and we produce great product.

Cons

The top in HR seem completely out of touch with reality when it comes to fair pay for the job. I have done nothing but increase my value to the company and proved my value to them and seen nothing in return in the form of a pay increase. We make significantly less than the average in the state and yet our company is opening 3 new stores. If you want to get taken advantage of then by all means work here.

It's great to hear that you enjoy your work and the people you work with. We recently conducted a salary survey and based on the job description provided to us, we approved new wage rates. It's possible that you may be looking at a different job and it's also possible that the description we have varies from your actual duties and both of these scenarios affect the wage rates. In addition, your wage rate takes into account productivity, duties, teamwork, willingness to do extra, etc. Please work with your manager to see how you can best work towards future growth and pay increases. Best of luck and thank you for sharing your perspective. Angie Miller - VP of 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.
