Pros

You work with good, hardworking people and are able to teach and train and make an impact on their growth and the business. The employees are very eager to do a good job and want to learn more and do better. The store and the store management can be active in the small communities we serve.

Cons

The business is very top down and doesn't take feedback from the field. Labor dollar constraints create a enviroment that is too lean.

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.
