      Not a fun place to work.

      Pros

      It can be a very laid-back place at times, and the people that I work WITH, but not FOR, are fun to be around and joke with.

      Cons

      The pay is VERY low, management borders on the incompetent and lack leadership skills in the location I work. Employee issues are not handled correctly, customer issues are ignored or swept under the rug, and there is little to NO positive reinforcement of jobs well done. Human resource issues are ignored by upper management and the only people who seem to be hired currently are close friends or children of friends of the General Manager. Turnover in retail is always high, but there are almost none who wish to continue working at this location for very much longer.

      They offer great benefits package and are slightly competitive in salary.

      Pros

      They offer great training have offer real hands on experience both mentally and physically if your up for that type of challenge, would definitely look good on your resume.

      Cons

      Often had to keep hours down due to slow sales company wide which put a lot of strain on management to get daily task completed in between customers.

      Pros

      If you have a good SM, and good fellow employees it can be great. You get a discount on parts, that helps when you have a beater like I do.

      Cons

      Mobile Parts Pro, and Salespersons are severely underpaid, and work less than 30 hrs per week. Management needs to adjust the pay scale, or risk losing more employees when the economy improves. The CDL should be scrapped, you can't determine how much customer traffic flows at certain times of the day by a computer. It could change at anytime and when it does, you leave yourself open to being seriously understaffed.
