Pros

If you want automotive experience for parts and want to take advantage of the employee discount to fix your car, then perhaps it's the job for you. Depending on your background in automotive and whether you're ASE (Automotive Society of Engineers) Certified you may be given a bit of a jump on your salary.

Cons

Now it all depends on which store you're at but don't expect a solid schedule. Expect shifts to change every week and expect to be scheduled on weekends. If you're new you'll be put on the hot seat, you'll learn as you go. Also, if you're the red shirt closer (Customer Service Representative) expect to clean bathrooms and mop floors. Expect to stock items which sometimes can be EXTREMELY HEAVY! For example, Chrysler 300 brake rotors are no joke! Also, ALWAYS count your register BEFORE and AFTER your shift! Mistakes not made by you on your register can be blamed on you and you can be written up.

Pros

Great job if you like little pay for very hard busy work. And I mean busy work. (Old inventory out and new inventory in--even if none of the stuff sells.) If your good at sales, you will be offered a Grey Shirt promotion to Parts Sales Manager. Then, you get to work 50% harder and have 100% more responsibilty for a few extra pennies. But don't worry, when your annual review comes up in October, they will give you an ~3% raise.

Cons

They will work you to death with correct phone sales procedures, required selling of all of the related parts for the job, and checkout sales deals. If you can't sell the extra parts for the job and/or the cash register specials, your hours will be cut to either get you to sell more stuff or quit. And don't be fooled by all the corporate hype. All of the cheering you see by Grey Shirts at meetings is done so they can brown-nose upper management into getting a future promotion. No cheering--no brown-nosing = no promotion.
