Pluspunten

Most of the staff in the stores are trying their best despite the efforts of the DMs and up to limit the potential of individuals and stores. Benefits when you can get them aren't bad, though no 401k match despite the CEO's continuing to pay himself an annual "dividend" in the hundreds of millions. There is potential in the niche, though the decision-makers seem hell-bent on destroying that potential.

Minpunten

Lack of commitment to employees and employee development An ugly HR strategy in the past year of forced conversion to PT staffing of those positions that actually interact with customers supported by DM level and up (they haven't suffered, but the stores have) Long-term strategy? Lack of evidence of it and corporate mandated programs are based on fantasy rather that reality. No support for stores with DMs and majority of SMs brought in at the expense of capable and competent managers having no understanding of HFT policies and culture (Bhopal toxic).

Pluspunten

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Minpunten

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
