Pros

-They take you to Chicago for a week with all of the other interns for training -You put on a grassroots sales event at the end of the summer which is a great thing for your resume -competitive pay $15 an hour -Learn more about automotive industry - get discounts on tires and car servicing

Cons

- Management is much more concerned with their own sales than teaching you the business processes -you are essentially just a Firestone employee for the summer - The only job they will offer you after graduation is working at a Firestone as a sales associate -Stand the ENTIRE day -Often a lot of internal drama with management/sales team/technicians makes for awkward atmosphere

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.
