Pros

Most coworkers and managers were pleasant to work with. Employee discounts are a plus.

Cons

Not enough people scheduled. Increasing restrictions in store policy. Cutbacks on employee discounts. Annoying and increased pressure to hit higher, sometimes unrealistic sales goals.

Thank you for your time with us and for sharing your perspective. I'd like to learn where you worked and more details about your pain points. Our goal is to give our associates every opportunity to work as many hours as they wish to take care of customers. There should not be threats occurring and I'd like to address that. Please call me directly at 614-850-3150. Angie Miller VP-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.
