Pros

Very fast paced Knowledgeable teams Excellent Training

Cons

This company was great until they started micro managing everything we do in the store. Why have managers if all they do is carry out tasks and not actually manage.

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.
