Pros

Decent health care, good co-workers. There isn't much else to add for this part. I'm just trying to get the 20 word minimum I need.

Cons

Management are treated like slaves. Corporate office tells us to think but micro manages every detail of the day and job. They create salaried employees just to treat them like slaves. 70 plus hour weeks are normal but your also told your not doing enough when you actually try to leave on time. Pay scales are very out of date on average fleet farm will offer 20 percent less than industry average but claim pay doesn't affect turnover, retention or employee happiness. There is absolutely no life and work balance. Company was recently bought out by kkr an investment firm and they promoted several employees from within but made a few bad choices in doing so. Employee moral is terrible and the corporate office is oblivious to what is happening at store level. There so into creating checklists and micro managing that they can't tell the stores can't hire or retain staff because of the pay scales.

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.
