Pros

Company vehicle, pay is good, bonus potential

Cons

Intense micro-managing of DMs, everything is a 911, 7 day work week, on 24/7, not even able to take a vacation. Disrespectful RDs, lack of integrity in senior leadership. Lack of follow through. During Covid, everything has been a PR ad. No protection was provided to the DMs, they were asked to do MORE, working upwards of 90+ hours weekly. No consideration for store teams. Compassion from senior leaders doesn't exist. They have no concern for anything except the $$$. And if you don't agree with everything you are told, you put a target on your back, Retaliation and hostile work environment is alive and well in this company . It's dissapointing they can't even follow their own motto of serving others.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
