Pros

This is a company with heart, that gives back to the community in countless ways. Management is respectful, the training programs are in depth and clear and the expectations are reasonable. The crews in the stores put their hearts into their work and advancement is steady, based on actual ability rather than "time spent" or being drinking buddies with the boss.

Cons

The assignment of managers (store, district, regional) is reactive rather than proactive. Some stores may have as many as 4 different managers during a year which can thwart the team building cycle from performing at peak levels and takes a toll on the morale of the crews at store level.

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.
