Pros

Provides a resonable wage for an entry-level position but not much else here that could be considered a benefit besides that

Cons

The entire work cultural is based on greed. Upper management wants you to squeeze every possible penny of profit from every transaction which often forces you to operate in ethical 'gray areas'. Furthermore, if you do not show complete and unquestioning loyalty to your managers, you will be targeted and increasing pressure will be placed on you until you are forced to move on. I was personally told that the only reason I still had a job was because I worked in the State of California which has strict labor laws. Additonally, I watched seveal fellow coworkers that performed their dutues superbly get passed over for promotion while other new hires were immediately fast-tracked and promoted with 5 to 6 months. You might be one of the lucky few that managment takes a liking to, but the gamble is not really worth it. Best to start your career somewhere else.

Pros

-Never had to work more that 40 hour a week. - Got free lunch when higher ups came in - Great benifits and discounts on truck rentals -25 dollars and hour -weekly pay checks - work uniforms for all seasons and weather.

Cons

-Fast turn around for employees - understaffed locations creating 1 person doing the work that 2 people should do. -Training program that just checks off the required training making the daily tasked feel confusing and stressful -If you fail as a trainee they will tell you not to worries but then will talk behind your back and try to get you fired ASAP. - Interviews for this position talks highly about the trainning but when you are in it you slowly learn its all an act to get people hired and excited but then you learn 80% for people quit or get fired and the ones who stay don't get promoted in the expected 6 to 9 month its around 1.5 years. - I would personal keep this as a last option for the start of your career. Other companies treat you better and have a fair pay for the work you do. - Some locations of this company I heard are better I would look at all the information given and make a desision. Good luck :)
