Pros

The business is creating lots of growth, which means work stability and job opportunities. Great team! I have found that the managers try to do the right things and truly live the mission of "Serving Others".

Cons

Like everywhere, you wish there were more resources but everyone has that issue. Every organizatio has its own challenges but what is great about this company is that you see people constnatly working on overcomoing those issues.

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.
