Pros

If you're reasonably competent and reliable and have some automotive background, it tends to be relatively low-stress. As with any other job, environment depends on your compatibility with your co-workers and therefor is luck of the draw. I'm lucky enough to work with a good crew. Your experience may differ.

Cons

It's retail. If you have retail experience you already know what I mean and nothing more needs to be said. Beyond that, it suffers from the same disconnects between the head office and the frontline soldiers as any other large, geographically diverse business. You know, the common problems that everyone is aware of and nobody ever attempts to fix.

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.
