Pros

Nope. Just no. Read below...

Cons

Just don’t. Co. can’t even manage themselves, let alone their 417,000+ solar energy customers. Nor do they seem to give a crap about their employees. Gross. Constantly took the beating verbally from customers because corporate couldn’t provide competent help or materials needed to handle the work loads for maintenance work. Most of CCT leadership was a joke. Constantly in pointless meetings that accumulated to little if any progress or resolution to ongoing & growing concerns and issues both internal & external. THERES A FINE LINE BETWEEN BEING ADAPTABLE AND BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. They could have cared less how many times I sugar coated around the truth of these matters. And all for a company who I and its customers don’t matter to. No room to grow bc they’d rather hire off the street from temp agencies if you don’t roll over and play the game.. How could anyone grow, much less thrive, in an environment that is setup to fail? No structure. No REAL management/leadership makes for a stressful work place. Just.. look elsewhere! Other than some amazing co-workers, you won’t walk away from this position happy.

Pros

Good benefits. Pay is less per hour than most car repair shops, but is hourly and not flat rate.

Cons

Very poor management. Service centers run extremely inefficient with too many people in very small shops. Most service managers are hired from outside the automotive industry and not promoted from within. Layoffs in 10/17, 6/18, and 1/19. Layoffs were mostly good employees that have been with the company the longest. They don't listening to what employees that know the automotive repair business have to say.
