Pros

The company is about the same as all chain stores. They do give you the benefits-medical, dental, vision etc.

Cons

Senior management does not show the proper respect to mid-level management. Above average and excellent work are not rewarded, nor is praise given when deserved. They do show the normal attitude of a chain store, more given by you only requires you to give more.

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.
