Pros

It can be fun if you don't take it too seriously. You can potentially learn a lot about all different kinds of cars. If you're young apply for the normal sales job. It can be a lot of fun. Computer system is fool proof and checkouts are easy. The most work you would doing working at a store is unloading the truck with all the behind the counter parts and on the floor items once a week.

Cons

if you show any intelligence they will promote you and take advantage of you as much as they can. You'll soon be doing manager work for slave pay.

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.
