Pros

The people I work with are great. They are professional and always get the job done without complaining.

Cons

There is no real decision making. We come up with a solid strategy only to scrap it before we place the plan in motion. Too many "yes"people and not enough communication. The blame game is a constant theme. People are severely overworked and underpaid. No opportunity for growth

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.
