Many thanks for the great review! We pride ourselves on the knowledge all of our associates have so that they can continue to grow with us. While our base rate is $4 per hour, sales associates earn commissions, bonuses, SPIFs, etc. that typically bring hourly rates anywhere from $16-$35 per hour or more depending on your department. Our goal is to provide unlimited opportunity for associates to earn and our structure allows that. Thanks again and keep up the good work! 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.
