Pros

Great work enviroment if you love cars, its as simple as that. Get some gear heads together and have a blast. sell some parts and use your discount to work on your own car.

Cons

For what the store makes the pay is horrible, the job takes skill and automotive knowledge and there is no reason why Joe Blow who is car retarded and the next guy who is highly knowledgable should be getting payed the same. Never enough people to work, not enough hours, constant rearranging of inventory, etc. Just like any other sales job.

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
