Pros

Decent starting pay. Usually around $8 an hour. Most coworkers and middle management are easy to get along with. Normally try to work around your schedule.

Cons

Lack of general direction. Schedule usually isn't posted until the day before the next work week. Management with little or no experience in car parts industry. Everyone expects you to be as smart in cars as a mechanic.

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.
