Pros

loved my work, interacting with customers.

Cons

They cut hours all the time! a lot of the times you’re working by yourself, and you can’t get anything done, and if there’s a problem with HR corporate they really do not listen to one person so if two people gang up on you and say you done something that you really didn’t do they will side with the two people and not the one person .

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.
