Pros

Outstanding products and a solid name in the industry. The tool promotions were great and perhaps 3/4 of the tool promos sold out before the week ended. Most of the customers were decent, hard working guys who wanted snap on but couldn't afford them. They bought a few things and drooled at so much more.

Cons

I was told they work half days which means 12 hours a day Monday through Friday; usually over 60 hours a week. Pay was just enough to live on. I had a company sales truck in a very poor area. Only 14 mechanics kept me in business, so there were no commissions. Co-workers kept pushing me to buy route and employ my wife and kids to help. Route had high past sales failure rate and they would never disclose this to me, but my customers told me of past drivers who invested, worked hard, and went broke because of the area.
