Pros

It was a good place to get more multi-unit management experience. Lots of corporate structure to learn different departments.

Cons

They are a mess and falling apart. They change pay whenever they want to cover for big pay offs for the top level executives. They are always giving failing executives buyouts. They are a mess and will sell off their service piece of the business soon to survive.

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.
