Pros

You meet a lot of fun and geeky people here, both coworkers and customers. . Fun and stress-free work place with flexible schedule . Coworkers are easy to get a long with . Commission based earning for sale team . Decent benefits for empployees . Company is growing strong

Cons

You get higher commission for selling more attachments per system. With that, most of the top salepersons (not all, but 90% of them) are able to get to higher numbers by ignoring and leaving certain customers. Yet, they get awarded based on numbers for using unethical approach, yet the hard-working employees that care for the store get nothing. . Poor work ethic due to commission model . Management doesn't take employee input . Managers care more for numbers than employees . No recognition for hard-working employees

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
