Pros

-Getting a paycheck -Meeting new people is the best part of the job. In addition to meeting people you are provided with videos and online assessments to help you understand how vehicles work which helps people that are new to the industry.

Cons

-EXTREMELY HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER SO BE PREPARED TO WORK AN EXTRA SHIFT WHEN SOMEONE CALLS OUT OR QUITS BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME NO ONE WANTS TO COME IN AND HELP. -No work life balance at all for the GM -Low starting pay for your store reps and drivers so you pretty much need to hire every straggler that walks in to keep the circus going.(QUANTITY NOT QUALITY) -Most of the employees are there until a higher paying job calls them. -The company puts share holders above all -No clear career path( some employees have been there over 10 years and still make less than $13/HR) -The company does not provide enough hours to get things done, you will be asked as a GM to stay and work for free since you are salary and only get paid for the 50 hours you work. In addition if you only work 49 hours you will be scolded but if you work 80 hours in a week you don’t even get a thank you.

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.
