Pros

None - this is literally the worst place to work ever!

Cons

Everything....racism, homophobia, HR calls unanswered, labor laws ignored, OSHA violations everywhere, horrible training, overcharging customers every day, deceptive advertising....need I continue...they will hire anyone because no one wants to work there as you can see by their rating....when they actually hire good experienced people they drive them out when they ask questions about the company's illegal practices. It is an unbelievable place even when you've seen bad elsewhere, you've never seen bad like this!

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.
