Pros

if you like tools, its cool to be around all of. the products. Nothing else though

Cons

management was unprofessional in every way you could imagine. no communication, last-minute schedules and changes, do not care about employees' work-life balance for example will schedule you to close and thenschedule you to be in at 6 am. Quickly will get burnt out. Many of the products are cheap and break so there are many returns. environment is not friendly I had a manage who constantly bullied every employee. No consideration for employee safety. They tried to make me clean feces from the bathroom floor when the drains got backed up. Sent me home not even halfway into a shift when I told management I wouldn't do it and they needed to call a professional. Racism is obvious and abundant. Promotoions only exist if you are and older white male. Discount is not even worth it
