Advice to Senior Management

Leave the old CSK mentality behind.

Pros

Depending on the department you belong to, it can be very hit or miss. Information Systems is about the best department to be in although it's sometimes the black sheep of the company. Most of the people are easy to get along with. Benefits are not too shabby.

Cons

Salary is not competitive at all and the turnover has been accelerating lately. There is a large void in our area for programmers. Instead of increasing salaries to be more competitive, they are resorting to hiring interns and utilizing contracted work.

Advice to Senior Management

Fix the pay structure in Information Systems as it is very broken.

Pros

Lots of support
You are actually in charge of your box!

Cons

Starting pay less than direct competitors.

Within the company it is not diverse, people that has been there for years that has the knowledge and experience will not get promoted. and one reason is color they will get looked over and they hire people thats not experienced to become manager over someone thats very experienced.

Advice to Senior Management

Really need to look into the diversity of some stores, and the promotion of employess that don't need it and deserve it.

Discount for parts, flexible time off and on, reasonable distance from home. Did not take much effort to actually work there. I was able to goof off.

Terrible management, no incentives, a very thankless job dealing with idiots on the street who think they know everything about their cars.

Advice to Senior Management

You should offer more chances for growth. Give us a reason to want to work hard and we will work hard.
