Vantaggi
You gain a lot of experience. Working in s store you get the weekends off. Not to bad of a job as long as you have a good store manager. If you chose to stay with the company there is room for advancement because people quit on a regular basis. You get to meet a lot of people, most of them are pretty good people.
Svantaggi
Low salary for the amount of hours worked, commission is also low. Corporate ethics is little to nonexistent. This has been recently with their choice to not pay commission on 20% and under margin sales. These is because the POS cost is a lie they the cost marked up in some cases 50%+. They claim that they are showing true cost from certain vendors but I have noticed that is not true. In June when they claimed to show us the true cost I also noticed that they raised the POS cost on fasteners. Distribution centers are very unreliable which makes your job a lot harder trying to grow business when product constantly doesn't come in or come's in wrong. Wholesale price's are set so high it makes sales peoples job take a lot harder because you have to check competitors prices to make sure your not 20-50% higher even after giving a % off wholesale discount.
