There's definitely growth potential at 84 for people who work hard. However their definition of working hard is dedicating your whole life to the store's performance. My managers were doing 70+ hour weeks with half the necessary staff constantly. I was in sales and got stuck doing physical labor and going to job sites to deliver materials despite them knowing my doctor didn't want me doing anything close to that.

The upper management was very mixed. My boss's boss was incompetent and always contradicted our sales guys and made them do stuff that cost us business.

The buildings aren't heated or cooled either, so it's hell all year at any store. Plus all promotions are based on transfers. I live in the Wilkes-Barre area and had to commute to East Stroudsburg for over a year because I wasn't able to move there. And there's no compensation for travel unless it's to job sites for business purposes. 48 hour weeks standard plus 10 hours of commute. The only opportunity I ever had to move up would've had me moving to Kansas. That would've been a wash anyway with the cost of living out there.

It's a good opportunity for single guys who don't wanna go to college and want to work somewhere you can actually move up the ladder. Otherwise there's no accommodations for those with families or commitments outside of work and sleep.

The one I worked at everyone was on Heroin and trying to kill each other with nail guns
