Pros

Benefit package is good. You call sell back your pto time for cash. Customers are trained they need to wait at checkout.

Cons

District and regional managment just seemed to point out opportunities, did not recognize accomplishments. Hardly ever talked sales results just focused on processes. Operate on tight payroll plan. Truck hours are planned the same regaurdless of size of truck.

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced environment, good teamwork. I liked the hours, you get an education about tools, whether from your coworkers or the customers. And speaking of the customers, they were on the better side for retail. Most are down to earth and easy to converse with.

Cons

Supply chain issues, many parts would never be replenished, despite being featured, advertised, and on display. That would often lead to tensions with customers. Aggressive time constraints on tasks. Sidewalk sales, holidays, and also coincidentally inclement weather days, can be quite busy and therefore stressful. Especially if there's call outs, but if you have a good management team, you'll have good staff that will want to work for them.
