Pros

If you like cars and enjoy working with the public, you will like working at Advance.

Cons

Pay is lousy. The DM thinks 25k is great pay. Once they hire you they will cut your hours to nothing. This job is a job for someone who is living at home. If you are trying to support a family don't bother with Advance. Another issue is all of these acronym's the upper wigs come up with. Its like you have to remember all this crap when all you need to do is take care of the customer. Customers expect you to be a full service garage. Installing batteries in pouring down rain, replacing wiper blades in pouring down rain, telling them what the problem is with their car, selling the parts, and then taking it back the next day because the idiot couldnt fix it.

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.
