Pros

Chance to build a career in retail that is not like a career in "retail"Product knowledge is rewarded and recognized

Cons

Since becoming a public company (through a merger/takeover of Discount Auto Parts) , this company has trashed its culture of teamwork ,individual respect and career satisfaction. It is now run by and for Wall Street. The bean counters are in control.

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.
