Pros

Lots of opportunities to flex outside of your role and create additional value across teams early on. Exciting projects and potential for impact. Kind and wickedly smart humans across various teams.

Cons

Growing pains of constant reorganization and reprioritization of projects means it can be difficult to feel like you're making progress despite the number of hours you work. Also really difficult to get any sort of mentorship and career development.

Pros

-Salary -Benefits -Training for technicians is improving

Cons

-Pay rates for new hires will not be as high as mine was. -Benefits get worse and more expensive every year. -Extremely high stress. -FRT times for many repairs are unrealistic -Communication between technicians, service advisors and customers is astonishingly bad. -Upper management for service clearly doesn’t understand what goes into repairing a vehicle. They think it is factory style work and develop unrealistic productivity metrics for the service centers. -Goalposts for metrics are constantly moving. One metric will matter one week, and be completely meaningless the next when another one is put in the spotlight.
