Pros

The best thing about working for this company is that there are endless opportunities for advancement regardless of your level of education or experience. All you have to do is show up and work hard and you WILL get consistent raises and eventually promotions. Discount only promotes from within, which is almost necessary for their system. They have been and will continue to be their industries leader because all employees understand and have performed each position in the company. Observe the guys beside you and above you and you will be happy that you did.

Cons

This kind of goes without mentioning but being a service tech. is physically demanding. You will get tired but you will also get in better shape. If you are used to fast-paced manual labor it will not be a big deal, but if you aren't, get ready to be tired. Another downside is that if you are working at a store in a lower income area, or for a store that doesn't quite have it figured out yet, you will not get raises as quickly as you would at one of the better performing storms.

Pros

You will never be without work. EVER.

Cons

Chinese overtime. Look it up it is getting paid 25% of what your hourly rate would be. Should be illegal but it's not!

Pros

Even though the processes are very structured, it's a good place to be able to be comfortable with your abilities. When given the chance, you can truly feel the impact of your expertise by helping a customer who just needs to feel taken care of.

Cons

Hours, hours, hours. Time with family is limited, especially at a busy location. If you have kids or plan on having kids understand that getting home as late as 8-9-10 pm is possible. The company truly values its managers and makes it difficult to achieve personal growth especially when THEY are the ones collecting the checks while YOU actively run stuff!
