Great benefits, like my manager.

Pros

Make your own schedule. Potential to make a large amount of money. Good benefits. Company Car. Company as a whole cares and loves their employees.

Cons

Pay capped by capabilities of management and service team. Management means everything in the locations, bad management means bad experience. Really hard to move up as locations are so spread apart.
