Pros

Great place to work and to learn more about car parts and helping people solve problems with there vehicle.If you enjoy talking with people about cars its a great place to work and meet new people.

Cons

The pay isn't that great for the things you have to do(changing batteries in cold or wet weather etc).Hours usually get cut around winter time when sales are down.Whenever they have item of the month sales the reward for the store with the most sold isn't what it's promised to be.

Pros

It used to be for the flexible schedule that allowed for team members to have a life, but now the CEO and leadership team want to treat us like indentured servants, or serfs that work at their bequest rather than pay attention to our needs, or lives. If they don't lose tenured employees because of processes being implemented they will remain flat at best this year, or minimal growth, so good luck investors!

Cons

Fixed schedule for a year? Who knows everything they have planned each day of the year; oh and it includes fixed hours so there's no guessing they own you! Core value of Arthur T. In team member handbook states his recognition of family and its role, apparently between corporate greed, incompetent scheduling, and inability to read the first page of the handbook by anyone who came up with this lame idea, you now are stripped of any freedom you thought you had?
