No help

Upper management outside of the store kept cutting hours. Skeleton crews all day every day. Expectation do more and more with less and less help. Low morale. Customers and employees suffered.

Great bosses

The bosses are great. You learn where parts are and how to get them ready for orders. You learn that customers do not know what they want and expect you to read their mind. Then they think you are dumb since you can not read their minds. They are the dumb ones.

Fun but upper management ruins it.

Overall on a day to day basis it's pretty chill. Whether you enjoy the job is mostly based on who you're directly working with as it is with most jobs, but it isn't the worst job you can have. Where the real problems come in though is through upper management and their decisions on everything. Overpriced items compared to companies that arguably make less money than them, no benefits to working holidays, poor equipment to work with and refusal to ever fix it, poor marketing choices and vague deals that leave customers mad and leave you to deal with it, and just overall a lack of care for you or the customer. The worst part is that you can make more money working at a taco bell than here. Severely underpaid employees and almost no pay raises. All in all, the job would be much better if it actually felt like you mattered to the company.

Hmmm

There was no growth in advance. Once you were in they had you locked in one position. I was overworked and underpaid. It's unreal how corporate companies thing workers are despensible.
