Pros

I loved helping customers find solutions to their problems or suggesting maintenance procedures to avoid having future problems.

Cons

Company relies way to much on salaried employees. No overtime for hourly employees, strictly scheduled store hours with no leeway. They saved over 26k by not having to pay me for all the free overtime hours I worked at the store. I got tired of working evenings, holidays, and weekends, giving up days off for company mandated activities. And manager schedule requirements that provided no opportunity for any sort of social life or outside activities. Close Friday, Open Saturday, and sleep most of Sunday to make up for the lack of sleep the night before. Five 10 hour per day minimum shifts, Nope you can't work Four 11s and a 6. or Four 12s and a 4. .

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
