Pros

really the only pros are: the employee discount and the people i work with

Cons

they really hire just about anyone. I have asked 3 separate times to transfer departments. the first time when i was hired and 2 more times in the next 3 months. My supervisor kept saying "When i make the next schedule".

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you are enjoying your fellow employees and the employee discount! As for promotional opportunities, we typically ask that associates stay in their current role for at least 6 months before moving to another position, although there are times that this tenure requirement may be shortened. I'd like to her more about your experience with the managers in your store if you would like to call the main line to our corporate HR department and ask for me. Thanks, Carly - HR Manager (614) 850-3150

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.
