Pros

Great work enviroment if you love cars, its as simple as that. Get some gear heads together and have a blast. sell some parts and use your discount to work on your own car.

Cons

For what the store makes the pay is horrible, the job takes skill and automotive knowledge and there is no reason why Joe Blow who is car retarded and the next guy who is highly knowledgable should be getting payed the same. Never enough people to work, not enough hours, constant rearranging of inventory, etc. Just like any other sales job.

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.
