Pros

You learn a lot of great knowledge on the some of the basics of construction and the details that go into how things such as windows and doors are manufactured.

Cons

Nepotism is a big red flag for me. Also the amount of pay does not justify the amount of work and long hours you put in on a weekly basis. Big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes have an adequate number of employees to satisfy all customer needs. At 84, there are only 8-14 employees that handle all the daily operations. If one person is out for any reason, it puts a huge strain on the other employees. If you're a single person with no outside activities you do during the little time you have off, this is the job for you. If you love your family, find something else that will allow you to have time with them.

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
