Pros

If you have a good SM, and good fellow employees it can be great. You get a discount on parts, that helps when you have a beater like I do.

Cons

Mobile Parts Pro, and Salespersons are severely underpaid, and work less than 30 hrs per week. Management needs to adjust the pay scale, or risk losing more employees when the economy improves. The CDL should be scrapped, you can't determine how much customer traffic flows at certain times of the day by a computer. It could change at anytime and when it does, you leave yourself open to being seriously understaffed.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
