Pros

Good pay for the area compared to other jobs. $12 per hour in high school. The people in the tire department were mostly fun to work with and would accomodate any time off needed. Not too hard work and ample downtime for messing around.

Cons

I went there mainly for the management trainee program that they offered only to find out that they don't take current employees for the program. I was told during the hiring process that this would be no problem but was later denied acceptance. This would have been fine had I not solely gone there for this program. As far as a regular job, this job was mostly ok but had its cons. There are video cameras everywhere capturing your every move unless you know where the blind spots are. I was often pulled from my regular shop duties to help in other areas of the club. Most of the time we got stuck doing the jobs the regular crew didn't want to do. The shop started holding premium member hours which allowed premium members to come in at 6 a.m. to get tire work done. I was often called upon to close the shop at 9p.m. and opet at 6a.m. the next morning.

Pros

The supervisors praise you. You don't have to be there to early nor leave to late ever. The pay is alot better then at a supermarket. You have alot of freedom.

Cons

Not enough cashiers since the people who shop there usually buy lots of items since it's wholesale so you may have very long lines especially if there isn't anyone to PDA items. Not enough COS's if you need an override it will be a minimum of 3 minutes. You have to be real careful of the many ways you can get a pickslip because if you get one you can't transfer stores nor move departments for a year.
