Pros

The owner has a lot of business knowledge, seemed to make very wise business decisions, and was always very friendly and helpful. The home improvement industry is booming so naturally, this company stayed fairly busy. There were always fun promotions and projects to work on. The work atmosphere was pretty chill and most employees were helpful across departments.

Cons

Some of the folks placed in management roles were inexperienced with managing people. The result was a micro-management style that resulted in being talked down to or confronted. I listened to one employee be confronted while in the presence of other employees. This had an impact on overall morale.

Retail and sales based employment and benefits, no such thing as job security.
