Pros

Is close to my home

Cons

pay, managers, unreal amount of work expected, high turnover, no communication or mixed communication, LONG hours with one break for me ( not management- they get as many as they want ) and get plenty of sit down time in the office, everyone is constantly complaining about the company and upper management, way to much negative talk on the floor.

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.
