Pros

For this area, the pay is great. They are increasing the amount of training they provide to employees, and have teamed up with some excellent partners to ensure the training is more relevant. There is always some kind of improvement or expansion in the works. If you love a challenge, you'll like working here. There are plenty of opportunities for overtime as well. The rotating schedule offers a lot of time off. Very little chance of ever getting laid off... this company has been around forever and isn't going anywhere.

Cons

A lot of the equipment is very old, and in many cases parts can't be found. Drawings or other technical information is outdated and hard to sort through. There aren't spare parts for a lot of the newer equipment. You need to REALLY love this kind of work, because you will be climbing, crawling, contorting your body, and getting very dirty in the process. The rotating schedule (12 hour shifts, switching from days to nights) is difficult. If you're the type that misses work a lot, this company will not be a good fit for you. The attendance policy is very strict.

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
