Pros

If you own an older car and constantly working on it the 20% employee discount helps a lot. The pay is decent and the people I worked with were very easy to get along with. I started at $7 an hour and being a part time team member to being moved up to $9.50 and promoted to 2nd Assistant Manager. I'm sure if I would of stayed longer I could of kept moving up. I would recommend this job to anyone in high school or just graduating. If you stay there you are sure to move up quickly and if you enjoy cars you will learn lots.

Cons

The people that came in were rude and sometimes the hours were long.

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.
