Pros

it is a paycheck no matter how small it might be. they will hire with no experience

Cons

your schedule hours always change, grumpy and lazy coworkers, no consistency anywhere. management team never agrees or gives you the same answer for anything you ask them. employees who have been with the company 10+ years get away with anything they want and they let you know it, new employees are taken advantage of and hollered at

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.
