Some of you work for Checker... Right?

[notajeep]

The word is out that checker is opening a new "super store" here in Moab.  Those of you that work for checker, How do you like it? What is the enviroment like there? Not just at the store but as a corporation. Is there a good chance for advancement within the company? What do they pay their store managers and or assistant managers?
Thanks of any Info.

Dan I just got in to Kragens in Sac, they pay decent for store managers and assistant managers.  I am going to be a manager for their wholesale department.  It is going to pay less than what I made before but it is 2 blocks from home and they have promised me $1 an hour raise if I can prove myself to them in six months.  They have a bunch of insentives and stuff too.  They also give a pretty good discount on parts  Good luck!

I worked for CSK.  They treat you pretty good.. benefits are there if you're there long enough and work enough.  Kinda sucks though it's next to impossible to get weekends off.

Weekends? What are those? I already work in retail.... so the weekend thing is not a big deal. But when you say that they pay decent.... give me a figure. I know that there is probably some disparity between utah and Cali... but throw a number out there. Managers.... 50k? 40k? Less? what about assistants? Are they on salary? What kind of work week do they expect managers to work? 6 days? 5 days? Or just to work what is necessary.... whatever that might be.
Thanks

Dan I am working tues -sat 8a to 5p and then it alternates mon-friday 8a to 5p
but that is wholesale manager.  Less than 40k right now.  But I am going to try to work the system.  Go to classes take new jobs that come my way and manage a whole store one day.  Hope that helps Dan.

No kidding! The discounts are great.  I work for Alldata/Autozone right now and get 20% off, but CSK gives 25%

[notajeep]

That might be worth the cut in pay to get 25% off all parts... including winchs n stuff.

If i remember right you get the 25% on every thing but engines, transmissions, and most of the fluids and oil

As long as it's not a clearance or advertisement special.  Engines and trannys I believe is 10%... or it is in these parts anyway.
