Pros

The supervisors are supportive. Benefits are pretty cool.

Cons

Recruiters do an absolutely terrible job relaying the actual details of the Management Development Program. Also have to accept the offer within 3 days, which is very questionable, especially if they offer you early in your senior year of college. Almost like they're forcing you to accept. The actual program is less than for the most part. You will be doing the exact same training as Auto Adjusters, so besides pay, there is no real difference between the Auto Damage MDP and the Auto Damage Trainee. The training itself is really, really intense. You will not get more than 4 hours of sleep for upward of two months. You take "quizzes" everyday for two months. In "preschool" you learn every part of the car and how thy function, and you're quizzed on it everyday. Quizzes count 70% of your overall grade; oh yeah, you must maintain an overall average of 90%. So, if you are an upcoming/new college graduate looking in to a management development program, please look elsewhere. You do not want to be the person who accepts this job, and are sent home after you don't maintain the 90% average. PLEASE DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF. It's not worth the stress, you probably won't be exposed to none of the details throughout the on boarding , interview process, they're not up front with anything regarding the program, which makes sense once you're in the program. Don't be banboozled by the name "Management Development Program". You are still starting from the bottom of the totem pole.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
