Pros

20% employee discount if you don’t use the self checkout

Cons

My department manager thinks that I do nothing right when I’m doing everything how I was shown. No communication as now after 60 days now I’m being told to announce over the walkee when I start my shift for the day when everyone else doesn’t even do that. I try to get the truck all put away and all items out for customers to buy and yet to my manager it’s not good enough but it’s good enough for the assistant manager their boss. There are times the department manager will want certain things done or department to be cleaned up but then there are days I’m stuck up front cashiering for half of my shift. In January I was lucky if I was scheduled for only one or two days a week.

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.
