Pros

-Interesting problems to solve (if you like cars). -Pay was above minimum wage at the time, albeit not much. -More I can't remember, I'm sure

Cons

-It's retail. -Culture varies quite a bit from store to store, and we didn't seem 'united'. Sister stores were almost competitors. -Company policy can be near-micromanaging. No cell phone, so sitting down, etc.
