Pros

Solid Company, been in business a long time

Cons

Low pay after you figure how many hours "salary" is calculated. Work their full time people (Store Managers & Assistant Mgrs.) to death. Salary based on mandatory min 10hr days with no overtime pay. Salary Managers have to clock in and out daily. Never two days off in a row....and Mandatory work every SAT-even if you are the store manager and you have your store running perfectly.

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.
