Pros

The pay is better than some places that have similar work. The store is usually not overly large and it's easy to put away things once you get the hang of it. The people you work with are almost always great and fun.

Cons

The management loves to pressure you about reward cards. Its annoying. Even if customers have states they do not want one, you have to ask around 2 more times to satisfy the manager. Even if most people you rang up had them they won't hear of it. The only other problem is that the parts area and service area are practically jokes so you'll get a lot of angry guests even though it wasn't anything having to do with you.

Pros

paycheck until you find a real job.

Cons

low wage and commission is terrible when all you do is flat repairs and oil changes. they hire you as an adviser, but in reality you are the advisor, parts counterman, pulling parts and asking rediculous questions from nimrods who dont have a clue about when they are undertaking. plus you are expected to restock the store, unload the truck when it comes and clean the bathrooms etc. for less than minimum wage. moral is low and everyone there is looking for a job, including the management. one quit when i got there and the other after i got there.people steal from you and from the customers. cars are misdiagnosed constantly and customers are yelling at you because of it not to mention the cars covered with greasy palm prints and customers coming back in and scream at you because of it and guess who get to clean the dripping oil off the car and the black floormats? not the hack who doesnt give a crap. you do for less than minimum wage. the hours are so long that you have no life the people you work with have very little knowledge so you cannot talk about care

Pros

Pretty good work/life balance. Location close to center-city Philadelphia with plenty of parking. Pay is decent compared to other companies and benefits are normal.

Cons

Culture has a general feeling of negativity, distrust, and dishonesty. Hard to describe exactly but it is different than other places to work. Process/approval heavy. Some layoffs during my time and other people leave because frustrated.
