Pros

Advance recognizes it's employees and their hard work. When something isn't fair, it will get changed if the team members opinions hold water. Bonus dollars are attainable.

Cons

Some of the typical retail methodology doesn't make sense and never will. The problem with this is that it must be followed. General managers aren't able to see GM% on an item but their bonus is based off of it.

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.
