Pros

Plenty of nice people to meet that cannot afford what we offer.

Cons

No mileage, no base pay, unqualified leads. When a sale is made any mistakes in pricing or unseen things come out of your check. Management wants you to go to stores to generate leads while there are already hourly employees at the store who's job it is to get these leads. I've been crushed on price every time a customer shops me.

Pros

I enjoyed working with a wide range of people of all ages and backgrounds. No two days were alike, so the variety of physical tasks was fun. I enjoyed helping to train new hires on the team, although there is no official position of trainer.

Cons

I started at $10 in 2011, and by 2017 my pay was only $11.70. Supervisor of MET at this store is so overstressed and undersupported, that he or she usually lasts 1 year or less. I worked for at least 4 supervisors on MET during this time. The store manager was also replaced about 4 times.
