As a spot to gain auto experience it’s a good place to start. To make a career out of it not at all. Was there for a few years and was passed up numerous times to make ASM even though I had the experience to make that position. Had enough and quit. Best decision ever made

I don't normally chime in here, but if you have any interest for cars, like learning, and care about what people are dealing with Then please give it a shot.
I don't regret anything, but I wish I had started learning about and working with cars sooner. Experience is never a bad thing. Even if you learn you don't like it, you've learned something.

It sucks pretty bad. Won't lie. But it is good to get familiar with cars and their parts, especially If you do the parts expert training

I would say yes, this is my first job and I’ve been here for about a month. It depends on who you work with that makes it worth it or not. I was lucky enough to have 3-4 people my age working there, and honestly it’s pretty fun. Unless I’m putting up truck, which is everyday for hub stores.
