Typical retail. Political. Very high turnover.

Pros

Top management portrayed a positive outlook after Lowe's acquired OSH as a subsidiary. A few friendly employees made coming into the office rewarding.

Cons

Communication can be muddled at times, with the same goal not being expressed throughout the organization. Teams work in silos and are not aware of what other teams have implemented (and vice-versa). OSH's main computer system is extremely outdated (circa early 1990s...think DOS), making it difficult to run reports and finish work efficiently. One has to re-learn to go backwards in time, which

Pros

Outstanding Culture and great values, the best work life balance

Cons

Not busy enough, New in market, Nobody knows who or what Orchard Supply Hardware is. Not enough marketing to drive traffic into the Florida Stores

Pros

-better work life balance then big box -great if you come from a company driven by HR -discount -lots of stores being built, seemingly more opportunity in the future for career growth

Cons

-bonuses are very hard to obtain and based on outrageous sales plans -driving sales and running an operationally sound store isn't valued much anymore -no set training/development program for store managers looking to move up -very dated technology within stores

Pros

Family oriented company, customer focused, on a big growth track.

Cons

Becoming more of an corporate driven company.

Pros

The employees are a close knit group and work well as a team. The discount is also a good perk.

Cons

Hours for salaried too long and are expected by upper management with little praise being given when a job is well done

Pros

I really enjoyed the team I worked with. Corporate personal for the most part very approachable.

Cons

To many changes going on at once. To much tasking rolled down from corporate. They want customer service but did not support with actions.

Pros

Mis-management and greed have brought it to Chapter 11. Enjoy.

Cons

Bloated and overpaid upper management. Constant chaos. Ridiculous standards with no payroll. Poor quality of life commitments. At OSH you are a number.
