Pros
If you get hired under a good regional manager, and a general manager, then it’s going to be pretty good. There’s always an opportunity to grow, and if you push or work hard, they will give you compensation of some kind. Good sales experience, they are always willing to help you grow. You learn about nuts and bolts you wouldn’t even think to learn about. Being a part timer here is good if you are a college student, as they are pretty flexible with hours as long as they have coverage. You get to visit customer sites and some of them are really cool, you also meet people you would of never met if not for this company.
Cons
It really does depend on the manager. They can make or break the job for you. It’s high paced, and the customers are always demanding. The systems we use are out dated, as well as the machines we use for ticket printers and scanners. Every store is dusty and old. Sometimes the higher ups expect a bit much and at times lack empathy, especially for male employees, and female employees tend to be favorited. You also have to know someone who knows someone to get hired here.
