Pros

My coworkers are amazing, Brandon, my store manager is super cool and knowledgeable. He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with. There’s no hostility between coworkers and we all help each other out.

Cons

The company keeps extending the hours. Went from working 8-4 on Sunday to 8-5, with the weekday hours being 7am to 7pm. Keep moving all of their best employees around until they quit. The pay is okay for the job, just the hours are long.

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.
