Pros

Purchases are discounted...but that lower price can be had as a walk in at any and all other stores. As a sale assistant, you get to sell some of the finer things in the auto parts world. Example parts and items include Needa Parts (versus Help parts), AutoCraft tools (versus any brand found at Harber Freight)

Cons

The "Open air Service Area" (from 100 degrees F to -20 degree F), where customers exploit free services (...do customer know prices are marked up for these "free" services?). Ignite Goal: now need to have a SPH at about 10 times your hourly wage. Not a true goal, nor does it have a chance of being sustainable.

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
