Pros

do not have to worry about company closing cause there will always be car wreck everday wich is not a good thing but there will always be work!!!

Cons

no raises even after telling employees that they will get a raises. and no opportuties for advancement. and all salesman not stepping up taking responsiblity on telling custmores that they all have to pay for core charges and to please have them drian oil out off engines and transmission or we will charge them for enviromental fees for not draining them.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
