Pros
Supportive team and great workplace relationships.
Developed leadership, customer service, retail, and automotive product knowledge.
Easy and flexible annual leave process.
Generous staff discounts on products.
Cons
Inconsistent hours — periods of minimal hours followed by being overworked with little work-life balance.
Frequent weekend work and ongoing understaffing, often leading to higher workloads and expectations to do more with fewer resources.
Safety policies can sometimes feel overly restrictive, making simple tasks more difficult than necessary.
Limited long-term career progression beyond Store Manager, with the role carrying a significant workload and high risk of burnout.
