Pros

Honestly enjoyed my time working there. I met a bunch of really cool people and was able to learn quite a few jobs, even if some were incredibly boring ha. A lot of people told me before hand that it is "a lot of hard work" and, while some areas are more physically demanding than others, where I was working in parts making was relatively easy and straightforward. Even when I went to other lines to work, I never felt overly challenged or discouraged. Also, the 4 day 10 hour shifts were incredible. Four day work weeks at 10 hours is completely manageable and still gives you time to live your life. There is overtime occasionally, but being paid $30/hour.... you can't really complain, can you? Basically, if you're looking for a solid, good paying job that comes with all the benefits (medical, dental, vision, life, 401k) in the Paris/Murray area, give it a go!

Cons

Can get a little warm in there in the middle of summer, not gonna lie haha. I was working the night shift, though, and didn't have to deal with the heat too much. Also, depending on who you get--it isn't a perfect system--the training might not be the best. But if you going in there eager to learn and apply yourself, learning things on your own, or finding ways outside the person training you, is completely doable.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
