Pros

They were kind enough to offer me a job, when I needed it. Worked my way up ranks over the years, then without warning they decided to give my job to someone else.

Cons

Horrible working conditions. Upper management is not organized and or focused on the real issues. They also expect you to work open to close, seven days a week to make ridiculous sales goals. Worse part is that they dont even say thanks, when you do work crazy hours and sacrifice family and personal health.

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.
