Pros

Most people are fun to work with. I gained a lot of useful knowledge about cleaners, tools, and parts. Getting to work with many different businesses, and getting to meet a lot of people from all over the area. Weekends are off.

Cons

Lower pay than many other jobs starting out with a college degree. Do not have enough employees at each store. 50-60hr work weeks.

Pros

People you work with and customers, 401k even as part time.

Cons

Where to begin: The company rips off customers through freight charges even if product is in store, the DM and GM's don't like each other. They over value the price of a college education even in sales associates. The pay is less than industrial average, the pay is not equal to the work some have to do. The GM's play favorites and usually let the full time employees do absolutely nothing. If you are a part time employee with a decent idea keep it to yourself they don't care. Margin is all that matters to them, and the corporate office could care less. If you have an interview and are offered a job, guess what you'll probably sit at home for a month or 2 before actually starting your job.

Pros

Excellent part time pay Good industry Company has potential The part time pay is very good. The industry as a whole is growing and the company has a lot of potential

Cons

As a part time sales associate you're basically the slave of upper management. They drive around in their trucks all day and you're stuck at the store dealing with customers. And if there's a vending account then you'll probably be forced to service it but they'll be making the commission on it.
