Pros

Good benefits, paid time of and holidays. Mostly easy to know what to do, and keep busy. Slow sometimes. Flag rate hours are confusing at first.

Cons

No classes or anything. The only way to learn is to watch and ask older techs or go to school for it. You need to be fast, or management will chew you up. Some things are doable, others are ridiculous, and there's always a possibility of hitting a snag. Need tools, the more the merrier, especially a ratchet set, an impact wrench, and a drill or automatic screw driver and plenty of different bits. I see most people working 5 or 6 days a week. Management complains when you ask for a break. So even if you are scheduled one at it's busy, and you're hungry, they'll bark at you and tell u to do one more thing then one more then one more.

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.
