Not a long-term job

Pros

Nobody looking over your shoulder Frequent long (hour+) trips eat up big chunks of your shift Some days you sit and do nothing when it's slow

Cons

$10.58 per hour Some stores are less than helpful/respectful to drivers. Busy in the summer, can be very strenuous some days.

Pros

close to home and decent hours

Cons

new part timers do not get any benefits..no access to paid time off..no vacation..no sick days..no health ins,,,no disability...no life ins... you are expected to be on the job 52 weeks..every week your first year. Meanwhile being paid the lowest wages in the area. We are all part of the "Team" and are expected to help meet and exceed all sales goals however the only ones who receive the compensation [trips..bonuses} when the goals are met is management. ..not even pizza party! there is no locker or a place to hang your coat..no breakroom. Never any appreciation for a job well done.

Not worth it

Pros

Good pay, control your own business, learn several dynamics of operation. Good job in college as a part timer or full timer. Assistant store management can always be worth it if you have a good manager. Anything hirer is not worth it.

Cons

store open 7-7. Phone never stops ringing, high expectations with little resources. each store has about 2-3 employees so the manager works all the additional hours. minimum 48 hours. Constantly picking up for the sales rep and the employees. Move up quickly without training. Employees become key holders quickly and then let the store fall apart when left alone cause they dont know any better and the manager has to fix the aftermath. not help from upper management. very competitive between all the stores in close proximities. No work life balance because you are always on the phone fixing problems as long as the store is open (sometimes outside of store hours). Turn over is crazy so it is hard to find someone to help out because everyone is constantly learning their new position. Strong policies that make it hard to correct behavior. Hard to take weekends off or vacations because of the limited amount of employees and conflicting schedules. No real reimbursement for all the driving.
