Pros

Established company with a good reputation for quality parts and customer service. Customers really appreciate the free wiper and battery installation.

Cons

As I became employed to open a new store there was a couple of days of training. But, no further training, except through on-line sessions was given. Started at wage barely above minimun wage. After more than 2 years I was offered a pay increase ... of $0.17/hour. This was an insult. Surely with 2 years of experience in their system I was better qualified than that. All employee individual sales, and in my case also deliveries, are tracked. Even when the store has very slow business no adjustment is made and an employee can't drag people off the street to shop. Also, even returns of defective or not wanted items are charged back to the employee's performance. Also, ever changing scheduling each week is detrimental to employee morale.

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
