Pros

Expand knowledge of automotive parts and problems, if you're interested in that. Better view of what mechanics go through to source parts As part time, i've had no issue with requesting days off, so long as i provided sufficient notice. This could be good form someone that needs flexibility, provided you know some stuff about cars.

Cons

As seems typical with retail and companies like this, corporate has their nose in everything without really understanding the day to day needs of their employees. Typical retail work, so expect occasional customers that clearly have no idea how basic things work "No Ma'am, i can't replace your Duralast battery under warranty, this is Advance, not Autozone."

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.
