Pros

DeForest is one of the busiest, most successful stores in the company Lots of respect and leniency for mistakes; NOT a toxic culture Generous commissions only for processing credit card applications (it was $5 once but now $10 per application!) You even get paid if it does not automatically approve. Rewards going the extra mile here and recognizes exemplary performance Employee of the month program with $50 gift card and parking space (you can get it just by not questioning orders and doing what managers need you to do) Employee discount is 20%, works on 95% of the store, and can be shared with your parents, significant other, or children. A family with a son for an employee who mastered the registers can teach his family to save insane amounts of money. Deals can be made for a family like this--real ones. Actually appreciates their employees here unlike my previous jobs

Cons

$15 per hour Annual raises are 23 cents per hour Difficult to get medical or school leave, corporate will generally not give medical leave if they are not legally required I cannot guarantee other Fleet Farms are as nice as DeForest

Pros

Management was very nice. Fun environment to work in. Great scheduling.

Cons

Not very many cons at all. Maybe that some days we were short of staff in the back and had overloads of work to do and not enough time.

Pros

There's a lot to learn, and working as a service writer helped me develop skills and aquire knowledge. I learned about everything from tires and oil filters to POS and inventory systems, warehousing, customer service, and the auto parts industry.

Cons

There is no end to the amount of hard work, and it'll break down someone's body in time. My spine started compressing from carrying tires, I injured my ankle and it never had a chance to heal properly, so I still have pain up to this day. If you're not 100% on time there's a real chance you will be fired, no matter how long you've worked there. I think there's a 3 minute window to punch in late, and that's it. After 3 late punch ins you're toast. Customers are always angry there because fleet farm doesn't have what they need even though they had it last time they were there. It's typical to see customer service being abused. In fact, I was verbally assaulted by an irate customer and was threatened and intimidated, and management did not back me up, which led to my resignation.
