Pros

It can be fun if you don't take it too seriously. You can potentially learn a lot about all different kinds of cars. If you're young apply for the normal sales job. It can be a lot of fun. Computer system is fool proof and checkouts are easy. The most work you would doing working at a store is unloading the truck with all the behind the counter parts and on the floor items once a week.

Cons

if you show any intelligence they will promote you and take advantage of you as much as they can. You'll soon be doing manager work for slave pay.

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
