Pros

Good experience in sales and customer service good resume builder Good multi tasking skills

Cons

Where to begin... Low pay and no cost of living raises. I worked there for about 6 years and was only making 12 dollars per hour as an assistant manager! No raises or promotions in over 3.5 years... I was held back from my area manager when applying for manager positions. I helped train and promote people who became my manager! Long hours and have to wear nice dress clothes when washing cars no schedule. Did not know when i worked until 6pm the day before! I was one of the top sales people and still usually didnt make more than $400 in commission.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
