Pros

It's a paycheck (for now)

Cons

Culture = expendability Leadership is a clueless joke. There are very few "leaders" here, just plenty of bosses. No vision and poor execution. Apparently promotion through incompetence is the way here. If you're good at your job, you'll be stuck doing it indefinitely, rather than any investment for growth. The reward for hard work is other people's work. IT was made the fall guy for years and years of poor leadership and bad decisions. Prepare for your skills to stop progression once starting here - get ready to support legacy systems with no budget. Anything fun worth working on will be handed to a 3rd party to handle. Outsourced 90% of operations to India with revolving door support carousel. If you're looking for a paperwork, pretend report-based job (seat justification work) there's plenty of opportunity for you if you're willing to play the game. Lots of fake jobs with bad data and people stealing recognition for the efforts of those behind the scenes.

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.
