Pros

Hiring process start with apply online and complete the assessment test, then, three days later got a call from SM for face-to-face interview which went well. She was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. Ask me questions about how to handle customer, what integrity means to you, what dependable means, and how to handle difficult customer. I answered the best I can. She gave me overview of the job responsibility of an Asst Store Manager, how important in minimizing shrink in the store, and maintaining store. Then, she called me again and offered me the job, then sent me the new hire packet/express hiring to do online. FIlled out all the necessary info and took a drug test that day(on a Tuesday), as well as they will check my background. A week later, also on a Tuesday, I got a call that I passed the drug test and background check, and told me to show up and fill out paperwork and started training that day. I was very, very happy that I got the job. I've been waiting for a week and they finally called me. Thanks to the wonderful Store Manager who kept me informed and I will working with her which I looked forward to.

Cons

The store is short-handed, and the store need a lot of work in being more presentable to customers.

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.
