Pros

$16.50 an hour but it only looks good on paper...

Cons

FLAT RATE suck If you havent been there for ever like the rest you dont get any good jobs and you end up doing oil changes all day and oil changes pay 0.30 so you would have to do like 27 oil changes in 1 day for 8 hours of full pay.

Pros

Through my career I have learned a lot on the automotive industry.

Cons

Corporate found a way to cut payroll by approximately $1k monthly to former assistant managers by eliminating the overtime associated with the position and eliminating the position , renamed it and lowered the hourly rate and put them under " commission ". Results...many guys looking for a new job cause with cost of living constantly increasing pay went down drastically plus most stores are understaffed but corporate keeps pushing for productivity, really bad work environment.
