Pros

You have a chance to learn about batteries and their applications. Decent college job; Horrible career.

Cons

Family owned - everyone is in charge but you! Often belittle employees in front of everyone (Often being key). This leads to poor morale and often sucks the life out of your day. Below average pay for the retail industry and very little benefits. No Medical/Dental/401K. Management often complained about not having any voice and little decision making power. Will hire anyone with a pulse and then scream and yell about not getting good results. Salesmen lack a desire to sell, have little industry knowledge and require help throughout the process no matter how much training they receive. There are problems from Corporate down within this company; A lack of vision and leadership.

What a Shame

Pros

Good intentions. Great former leadership. Excellent Product.

Cons

Atmosphere of anxiety and intimidation. Too many new "execs" who don't know what they are doing. Management direction changes constantly. Too many consultants out to make a buck. No appreciation of long term loyal employees.

Pros

Very good product. The home office was efficient and helpful. Training manuals were good. The local manager is very knowledgable and courteous.

Cons

Not a problem with the product but the franchisor's expectations were unrealistic. Given a 20 hour work week, the expectations were for a full time position.
