      Pros

      Team building with associates and developing personal relationships with commercial and retail customers.

      Cons

      Management bias. Lots and lots of hours Lots of metrics. Required a high level of commitment and physical effort. Constantly having to bail out poorer performing stores Uneven store standards , crazy inventory tracking, Things like tenure and dedication didn't count for much. Better make you numbers or you won't be there very long

      Pros

      I can't think of any pro's. They can be flexible in hours for those in school.

      Cons

      The company sets unrealistic sales goals, has low pay barely above min-wage, and makes employees complete busy work and unneeded tasks. Corp Upper Management micromanages every little detail. Horrible moral issues. Huge turn over.

      Pros

      Fun coworkers and meet new people.

      Cons

      Pay is OK if you live at home and don't pay rent. The harest workers get treated like crap as other employees can sit around and do nothing and nothing said to them. This is a part time job. Management only cares about numbers and not the employees making the numbers. Raises are promised but never received. Bounuses never happen as corporate makes unattainable goals. 20% off of parts is nothing when you see how much commercial clients get off some get parts at or below cost.
