Pros
None unless you have no choice and need to get employed.
Cons
Management not willing neither support you nor getting involved in finding solutions where their involvement is required according to the rational distribution of the official duties. In other words, you will be paid less for a higher level of responsibilities not talking about the volume of work coming again and again. As an excuse- the organisation has no structure etc. In reality, commonplace savings on Human Resources.

Pros
Lot's of knowledgeable, dedicated, and competent employees.
Cons
Tumultuous time for the company with no CEO, seeking strategic alternatives, and little communication from the top down.
Advice to Management
Work on gaining the trust of the majority employee base. Many are unsure of the company identity, the path we're on, and middle managers don't have the answers for questions employees are asking.

No opinion of CEOI worked at Uni-Select full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good place to get an entry level job if you're just out of high school and need to work. Pay is what you would expect for an entry level warehouse labour job.
Cons
Hard to get hired as officially full-time, they will employ you full time and have you work 40 hours a week so they don't have to offer benefits. Could be different by now but that was how things were when I was there. I didn't care because I didn't want the premiums coming off my paycheque.

Pros
Great people. Good pay. Great discounts on car parts. I am not unhappy here, we are not micro managed in my dept.
Cons
Old-school way of running things. Strict hours. No flexibility. As a younger employee, I am behind a computer in a cubicle and this is now where I'd rather be.
Advice to Management
We need some more flexibility. To keep your employees, you will need to evolve your way of thinking towards a more 2018 way of running a company.
