Pros

employee discount, is really good for working on your car, or fixing cars for others and making the discount amount (assuming you buy the parts and sell them to customer at retail price) plue whatever you charge to repair the car

Cons

poor pay, horribly unfair bonus policy, NO communication, outdated computer systems can make for a PITA at times, they hire anyone (without properly quizzing them on mechanical stuff to make sure they can actually do the job properly). no comission or SPIFFs on special order parts (such as unusual parts or accessories ) scheduling sucks under normal conditions (unless you have a good mgr (or asst mgr) that will make the schedule somewhat consistent

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
