Pros

What's expected of you is crystal clear & explained when hired

Cons

Dismantlers are required to finish 14 cars a day. At times the company is behind and then you are asked to stay and do "extras" there is a $10.00 per car incentive for anything you do over 14 cars. It's a very physically demanding job & you must be able to stand heat.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
