Pros

Good work enviroment. Managers pretended to care. Had up to date equipment.

Cons

Managers said one thing but did another. I was told once I got my ASE's current I would get the standerd raises according to their scale. But when the time came instead of getting the $7 an hour raise they were supposed to give they only wanted to give me $2 an hour. But get this they wanted me to be the lead on top of that. When I turned in my notice they wanted to act like the $2 an hour was everything in the world. They preach integrity but they can't even support what they said they were going to do when they hired me. They told lies to get me to come on board but like every other big company they all lie.

Pros

Fun Environment. Straight forward sales process. Good traffic, Good benefits. Actually feel like the company cares for its employees well being. Selection of products to sell is very good

Cons

Hours required due to being straight commission sales. Micro managed and too report oriented. No real effort to become a more paper free company. I worked in sales an it not great at all,if you want to make a lot of money you have to stay all day an work ever sat . I moved to detailer an its worst then sale more work and it hard to make money

Pros

Camax is a pretty god company to work for, it has good benefits, and employees are very friendly.

Cons

They need to have more competitive managers, they don't see or hear the reality of the employees. When all the big shots come in, managers are all smiles, but after the big guys leave they look like a sour puss.
