Pros

A bit of flexibility Can climb corporate ladder

Cons

Absolutely no benefits whatsoever. You’re paid minimum wage but are expected to work 60 hour weeks and even handle managerial tasks (again while being paid minimum wage). Depending on what van owner you work for, there’s a good chance you will never see any commission. You’re also expected to memorize and train yourself OFF THE CLOCK with no compensation. Also never saw a cent for mileage despite traveling up to an hour away.

Pros

Can get lots of overtime, try to promote quickly

Cons

Pay is absolute trash, they lie to you during the interview process and tell you that it's a minimum of $600-800/week but that is a complete lie. Working 40-70 hour weeks with minimal compensation. Promotion does not equal pay increase!! What a joke. Management is horrible and very unprofessional.

Business Outlook

Pros

The job is very easy. You clean and refurbish used car keys. You can work the whole day without talking to a single person.

Cons

If you have the deal with management at all you quickly learn how unprofessional the place is. Managers can be passive aggressive or just rude if you have any disagreements about something.
