Pros

Mon-Fri workweek , that's about it.

Cons

Always running, delivering parts. Never knowing when your day will end. No time to think straight. They want you to talk and upsell the customers but if you did you would be putting in 14 hour days maybe more. Money compared to hours worked not worth the aggravation. STAY AWAY

Pros

Like someone else stated.. There will always be someone needed car parts.. and the Medical Bens are decent.. 401k Decent

Cons

Were to start? Terrible Vacation... No Sick Time.. No Compensation.. You have to pay for your own staples.. pens.. paper.. If you complain they will terminate you in a heart beat.. No advancement at all.. They hire outside the company even when they have qualified people to fit the spots. Before terminating employees they post their jobs on Monster to fill. Our location is open 362 days a year.. That means they only have 3 days they are closed!!! Yes 3 days.. The only people that are making money is the Upper Management that drive in with their Cadillac and then tell you that their are NO RAISES!!! Ohhh and don't forget that their kids are going to walk in the door making double what you are making. The list goes on and on and on.. Terrible company to work for.. But until something else opens, I will suck it up, and when something else opens, ill be gone..
