Pros

None that I can honestly report - it used to be a good company. Insurance was good.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive, corporate headquarters location discriminates against people with disabilities, people of color and women.

Unfortunately, this post contains many inaccuracies as this associate was not terminated due to a disability. She requested several accommodations which were granted. Over time, she was not able to come to work and exhausted all of her leave. She submitted a resignation letter and we worked out a transition to assist her since she had been employed for over 10 years. We work very hard to maintain a professional work environment and I'm sorry that this associate feels differently.

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.
