Pros

at least when it comes to the typical holidays they are not off limits to take vacations sometimes like typical most retail companies that black out all those dates & times, not the best company to work for but also clearly not the worst

Cons

Too many to list, but big issues center around constant changes in directions the company wants to go, lots of upper management & executive changes * revolving doors, many of the new area directors have no experiance or knowledge needed to do their jobs

Pros

Good place to start out as a mechanic, provided you work at one of the "good" locations.

Cons

The pay is average at best. Auto technicians are paid flat rate, which would be great if the whole pay system wasn't set up for you to fail. All of the labor rates for different jobs are way lower than they should be, and getting things done on time is impossible because there's always something getting in the way (i.e. waiting for parts to come, service writer mistakes, managers believing that every oil change is sacred and therefore should take precedence over your 8 hour service job, etc). Not only that, but I've even worked under some managers who thought it was okay to take flat rate hours off of my work orders because "it didn't take me that long" in order to save the customers money. This is a crooked company that hires crooked people. Be on your guard.
