      good at first, decent in the middle, total deterioration into an awful job at the end

      Don't know, they kept changing it

      Pros

      If you had worked there long enough, you had some decent time off built up. Most of the customers are good people to deal with as well as just talk to . Large variety of items to sell.

      Cons

      bad ethics: too many to count. never a good comment given when goals were reached. Pricing always high unless a large account was specially priced for. Look good on paper for investors only because their acquired companies are growing (Holokrome)

      Tried very hard

      Pros

      Experience, training, and benefits are all great. The major medical insurance was pretty good overall. When I worked there I thought I had bad insurance but little did I know it's actually really good. You gain a huge amount of experience in your time here.

      Cons

      Really the biggest cons were the pay and the work/life balance. In order to be successful here you need to dedicate a significant amount of time (55-65 hours a week) and not really get pid for it unless your store is really big, which they want but ultimately will split stores when they get really big and busy. But in order to get big you need to put in huge hourseach and every week. If you're single, go for it, you can be rewarded if your store grows. But if you have any turnover, and you will, then you're back to square on.

      Nuts about bolts? Ok entry-level employer if you can handle near minimum wage

      Pros

      Excellent place to observe what great customer service is all about. Nice co-workers and store manager. Good first job for someone wanting to join a company early in their career and get on-the-job training. Very straight-forward processes in areas like computer systems and store layout. Appreciate management understanding of learning curve.

      Cons

      Near minimum wage. Cheap. If learning how to identify thousands of industrial parts and getting dirty is not your thing, this is not the job for you.
