Pros

Meeting new people every day. Also, self satisfaction (it didn't come from any mgmt. telling you, that you did a good job) that you had helped someone trouble shoot& solve their vehicle's problem.

Cons

As a delivery driver, time was of the essence. Expected to run register, stock, clean bathrooms (had to maintain vehicles also), do plan o grams, answer the phone w/in 3 rings (regardless of going out the door w/a full delivery or waiting on a customer), etc. Store was always short staffed & the hourly pay (for everything you are demanded to do) is horrible.

Pros

The people I work with in the store. They are loyal and make the best the can out of being yanked around.

Cons

They need to make up thier minds on how they want customers to preceive them. Can't change your mind with the wind. Be proactive with understanding how your stores need to be staffed to take care of our customers. They come / call when they have a need, not when CDL says so. Really look at hours of operations. Some store would benefit by staying open longer other need to have shorter hours based on tranactions. I see no reason how you decided, Maybe a dart board.

Salary was not good enough for how much of ourselves we were putting into the work; few chances of growth, improvement for a better quality of life to live there.
