Pros

ASE-like online training. Constantly on the move. Good coworkers make it all worth while. Bonus program for Key Holders and Management. Usually can work more hours than scheduled if you need it.

Cons

The "Numbers" system has turned it into an Every-Man-For-Himself culture. Returns, defective exchanges, core returns, as well as the ridiculous "Loaner Tool" program all count against the salesmen…it's a recipe to set us up for failure and it's killing morale. Belittled by customers almost daily. Sexism…from customers, as well as coworkers and subordinates.

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.
