Pros

Great team Benefits Ability to schedule around personal life

Cons

Get your money right up front (Management). They will hire based on a need. If they can't find someone with experience, they will hire someone they think they can "train" who has no experience in the field. If their need is great, they will offer that individual significantly more money than what their current, "Proven Hi-Po" managers are making. This creates animosity and decays trust in the area directors / company.

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.
