Pros

Close to home, but that's it!

Cons

I worked for them for 6 years!! They rotate managers so often in their stores that it never gave you a chance to move up yourself especially when a new manager comes in and has to get to know you and the way you work over and over again. Women who work here have no say in anything. Its defiantly a mans world, but I was determined to advance since I was a young woman seeking more money. They just wouldn't allow it no matter how hard I worked, there was no way to move up for a woman, I actually seen other women move up, but only because they had other motives. if you know what I'm talking about. This place was great the first 2 years i worked here, it fell apart after that and I hear its just getting worse. My pay was decent when I started but 6 years later i was only up 80 cents more than when i started?? Place is crooked... I will never recommend anyone or any woman to set foot in those doors unless your looking for drama!!!

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.
