Pros

The best part is the people you work with in the store. The company was decent to work for when I started three years ago... since then this company is not worth a dime.

Cons

People who make the rules have no idea what is going on in the actual stores and yet are trying to run the place. Schedule and everything is preprogrammed. The General Manager position is pointless everything is laid out by the people in the office. Pre set schedule, no felxiblity, no overtime, and no pay raises even though they require you to do more. The company is chasing pennies instead of dollars. At the rate this company is going they are going to run off all of their good employees.

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.
