Pros

The only reason I worked at advance is because they were willing to work with my college schedule (at first). I do have a weekend car I tinker with, and the 20% employee discount was a perk.

Cons

Crazy schedule. They would want me to work 7 four hour shifts during the summer. So the math, that is working 7 days to get 28 hours. I would burn $10 gas and get $40 for the shift.

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.
