There is a strong focus right now on change with the culture at the forefront, which is great. I also find there to be a good work/life balance and the ability to deselect if needed. The people are generally very nice and easy to work with as well.
Cons
Need better managers in place to help with growth among employees. Ability to not have to get buy-in at multiple levels of people is something being worked on but we're not quite there.

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.
Cons
The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability.
There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
