Benson Auto Parts

I had a lot of fun working as a sales rep for the company! Unfortunately it only lasted a year and they only reason it did is because i had to chase my own dream and started my own business. Otherwise i would of still been there having fun, learning and working closely with some amazing people! Learned a lot about sales, a lot about car parts and accessories. Had the pleasure to visit daily a lot of shops in Cornwall and make friends. Management very down to earth, most of them at the same position for years which means they know what's going on and can coach you properly in order to succeed at your position. Nothing hard about the job as long as you're well organised and willing to learn. What i enjoyed the most is some amazing people i got to meet and kept the friendship going to this day!

My typical day at work consisted of spending long hours on the road, repeatedly delivering parts to local customers - very little time was spent at the store, but when we were there, we were picking orders, putting stock away, or cleaning the store/vehicles.

I will state that I feel that I didn't learn anything useful at this workplace, as far as advancement goes. I was stuck in the same position for two years because there was no room for advancement in that business.

The hardest part of the job was the driving, itself. The very nature of driving is stressful, but I would also say that the driving was the best part of the job. 

All-in-all, I will say that this job pays minimum wage; it's better off to keep it as a summer job.

I started sweeping the floors and putting away stock...moved into the warehouse...delivered parts...shifted my career into becoming a counter person and loved it....was helped through the years with multiple mentors...started to learn and understand the best  leadership traits and qualities, which enabled me to be promoted to management...treating people with respect and being fair in our day to day business is what makes our family  run company operate successfully.
Its a great place for students during the summer
Its a great place for retirees who want to continue to work but not full time
Its a great place for anyone to build a career in the automotive parts aftermarket-you even get pretty good deals on replacement parts for you cars.

Great culture, great products, business growth opportunity, a lot of different supplier/brands options for customer, next day in the morning delivery which helps out our garages start their day right and on time.

A well known company that is constantly working as a team to get better and each and every day. 
 
Hardest part of the job is trying to keep up with all the new trends vehicles and demands, why we as counter persons learn each and every day which makes our jobs very interesting and challenging which is great.

Most enjoyable part of the job is dealing with the customer and helping them out with what the need and make sure we are there for them no matter what.

This company, top down, had a philosophy of 'how much can you squeeze from an already squeezed out lemon?'
Too many levels of petulant management.  For such an easy job (which I did enjoy) it was disappointing to be chastised for mistakes, and rarely rewarded for good work.
I ran into many workers of this company in other towns and discovered that many had not had ANY kind of raise of wage in years.  It was the in joke.  The kind of culture that suggests they can't wait for you to quit.

Sales and counter staff work together to fill needs of clients on a daily basis.  Sales Reps are actively engaged with their client portfolio, helping them increase client shop productivity and help increase revenue by sharing best practices within the area.  Workplace culture is very fun and easy going.  There is always something new to learn (new parts available or procedures) every month.  The interactions with clients and their customers is ever changing.  Sometimes slow but never boring.

i typically pick up and delver parts to customers. i have learned the importance of customer service, with out the customers I don't have a job.I normally don't have any problems with Management, the only time there is a problem is when a major mistake is made. Almost never.the best part of the job is the co-workers and customers, they are all great to work with

> fast paced environment with new things to learn & do daily
> diverse range of staff & customers keeps it interesting
> management in general cares for the well being of the staff that work here
> strong team dynamic is encouraged & embraced
> satisfying a broad range of customer & employee needs & wants is the hardest part of the job
> working with small business owners & staff to help them be successful is the most enjoyable part of the job

great place to work, large emphasis on family. The owner cares for you as an individual, has done many fund raisers over the years for staff in need. if you want to work and learn there is plenty of potential for advancement with so many stores in a small geographical area. This company promotes from within whenever possible.

When I get to work I get my clipboard and write all the deliveries down and make sure they are the right parts for the invoices.Then I will ask if any are cash only. Then I will put parts in company car and deliver them .I get along with everyone I work with I find they are very friendly including management.The hardest part of the job is the  lifting of heavy products. The most enjoyable part of the job are the people I get to meet.
