Pros

Good people to work with

Cons

Upper management is terrible. They change directions every 3 months. Area Directors aren't trained well either. Pay is low for the position especially in the area. They expect you to follow 1000 steps to get anything done. SOP for everything, so we better not ask for help. Its not like there is one anyway. Benefits are bad btw. They make the bonuses unreachable.

Pros

The competitive pay. Thats about it

Cons

The whole guarantee system. Management, equipment. To anyone who decides to go to pepboys as a flat rate tech, they changed the guarantee system to where if you're not efficient, you only get what you flagged. So if management is bad, the location is bad and its slow, it gets rough. Prior it was a guaranteed pay based on you hitting 40 hours. Their excuse was people "abusing" which is really backwards thinking. If you're starting out, I recommend Firestone. The pay might be slightly worse but you'll have a guarantee of at least 30 hours. Also management at my location seems content only doing tires and flat repairs that hit budget. All while I have to come to them to see if my ticket got sold or if the fleet company approved of the work.
