Pros

learning on cars. How to multitask, really multitasking.

Cons

Less hours every 6 months. Low raise if any. New management is coming in with a lot highier pay and less knowledge. Area Directors come and tell us what to do and that everything is wrong it the store without asking questions. VPs come and dont even look at your eyes. He asks "how are you doing today?" and a second later when you fixing to answer he turns around and walks away.

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.
