Pros

Upper management gives you weekly verbal feedback on your strengths/weaknesses and how to better yourself through online courses given to you while on shift. Even though I am an entry level employee, both commercial and retail co-workers, including management treat me like family . It is a great place to work and is never a monotonous work day !

Cons

Your hands will get a little dirty handling customers' old parts being traded in for "core"; the old part needed for credit in exchange for the new one. But that's to be expected handling an old part from under the hood of someone's vehicle that is usually as old as their vehicle itself. That is not an issue with me and plenty of cleaning supplies for your hands are readily available in our breakrooms.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
