Health benefits, scheduling, co-workers, employee discounts, working with new technology.

Cons

Low pay, very strict policy's that change often, micro management, new roles and tasks constantly added without any pay increase. Management attitude towards employee's is terrible(we're easily replaceable).

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our recent changes to our Service offerings. We want all of our associates to have the opportunity to take care of customers and solve their problems - this is our mission as an organization. Our compensation plan is designed to reward associates who provide the solutions our customers need - we are not saving money with the new plan. It sounds like there may be some confusion about the changes so feel free to reach out to me directly at 614-850-3150 with any suggestions you have. Sincerely, 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.
