Pros

It wasnt the best job honestly but it was a good place to work if you like a fast paced environment. My boss was absolutely wonderful and she did the best she could with minimal power and control over staffing on a local store level

Cons

It was horrible in terms of staffing they could have done so much better instead of leaving to a high stress low empathy environment where we were bombarded by customers constantly and had to manage customer intake along with stocking

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
