Pros

It's employment and I learned how to mount tires

Cons

My job is not just working on cars doing oil changes and tires agst also has to clean put up inventory assist technicians if they need help and know that is documented so if you're a GST and you mainly do inventory put up tires clean dump trash and scrap metal there's no way to document it and on paper it just looks like you don't do anything even though you're doing everything! the GST keeps the money flowing but the company does not care about the GST we get no perks no commission no benefits and apparently now we don't even get raises after being with the company for over two years even if you had a job when pep boys hired you and you left your other job expecting pep boys to help you move up in the industry you love pep boys will turn around spit on you and tell you you should be lucky to even have a job

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.
