Pros

Culture is really great Easy workload Fun if you like cars Good benefits

Cons

Pay is below average. Expect $18 an hour average starting in sales. If your good you might hit 60k for a year. If your really good and live at the store you might Crack 100. Work life balance is rough. Expect to be called on your day off. Expect to work weekends. And if you want to make money Expect to come in on your off hours.
