Pros

You get work with a lot of automotive brands and shops in the aftermarket. You have the distinct advantage of selling from the largest inventory pool in the country. The employees are great under management. You have access to one of largest automotive aftermarket networks in the country. Use it! If you're passionate about the industry, can quickly build trust and relationships, can turn a no into yes, and making real money is not a concern, this is for you. Dress code is enforced.

Cons

If you're looking to make real sales money, this is not for you. Promotion from within is very slow and slim, even if you are very motivated. They convey a culture that thrives on not compensating their employees while expecting them to sell millions of dollars in product. Even if you create substantial results good luck getting a raise. The bonus system is a joke. It's not a real sales environment in the least. They don't dangle the carrot, it's tied to the back of your neck and you might get a bite if you're really lucky. If you don't live or are willing to move to Exeter, PA, good luck getting promoted. Even the regional management comes from PA. or is hired externally. I rarely saw promotion from within during my stint at the company,. Hopefully being acquired by LKQ solved a lot of the pain points of being an employee and has offered a lot more opportunities for promotion.

Pros

Wages are about average, but the overtime is amazing. Some advancement is possible if you work hard and show up on time every day.

Cons

Long Hours, and physically demanding. I worked 70 hours in 1 week. Some of the bosses didn't seem to care.

Pros

Good pay, good coworkers, and great lower level management. Fairly easy job to learn.

Cons

Mid to high management tends to those people away rather quickly. While easy to learn, because rules and regs consistently change its slightly difficult to master
