Pros
Most of your co-workers care about helping the new team members learn the job. There are chances to move up, if you're looking to advance. Helping people get the right things to finish their home projects can be a rewarding experience.
Cons
If you are looking to advance, the company pushes very hard for you to move to other locations in order to do so. That can be a good thing, but if you're looking to stay in one area it is a big drawback. Also, many people only visit the home improvement store when something breaks, so it seemed like most customers were angry even before entering the store. Unfortunately, that means sales people have to deal with a lot of hostile guests. It can be a tough work environment.
