Pros

Friendly working atmosphere, college reimbursement for both part time and full time associates. Flexible scheduling due to its retail format. Excellent full time benefits.

Cons

Although one of its pros, if you're looking for a consistent schedule, because it is retail, you will not find it here. Need to move out of your region in order to progress in any type of management position.

Pros

Good atmosphere and pay. Good discounts on parts and tires etc. Get to check out and drive some interesting cars.

Cons

Management tries to implement to much at once. Certain groups of people can back stab you if you are not careful. Those same people are also the ones that management bends over for.
