Pros
There is a lot of training and I learned a lot about household fixes. Everyone I worked with was friendly and cared about me.
Cons
It is tiring to be on your feet all day. Retail is not for everyone. Some customers can be terrible to deal with, I could send them to the manager, but if I moved up, it could be stressful to listen to all of the customer complaints.
Advice to Management
you need to compete with amazon

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Rockys Ace Hardware for more than 3 years
Pros
Learn a ton of practical knowledge, hours can be flexible if you're in school, a few good co-workers can make it more than bearable.
Cons
It's mostly customer service so you'd better hope the regulars are friendly. Most training is reserved for management so it takes awhile to pick up on things. Experience mostly depends on your manager for better or worse. Upper management is a little too buddy-buddy. Oh and most clientele are middle aged and up so expect some sexism if you're a girl.
Advice to Management
The store employees usually know more about what should be done with their own store, if you're only visiting every once in awhile then you really don't know what's practical and what's not.

Pros
Hours are better than many other retail stores. They offer great training for their managers.
Cons
They don't pay enough to be able to get decent people and keep them. Turn over is high even in store level management.
Advice to Management
Increase wages and you will increase the overall value of the company. You will have better people who are more willing to provide to notch customer service and much less turnover
