Pros

The company as a whole has great benefits and pays very well. As a full-time technician you are making $14 an hour. You can also earn up to a $300 bonus each week for meeting the criteria of customer satisfaction. I was in training for the first 3 months until assigned a store to then work under the supervision of a master tech. All tools were provided by the company and I was assigned a work van that I could drive home after the day was done. The environment was friendly where every technician would help out each other when necessary.

Cons

When full-time you don't have set hours. You arrive before 8 AM to load up your van with your glass for the days work and you aren't done until you finish all your jobs. At any point throughout the day more jobs will be added to your route. This means that you need to not only complete the jobs given to you in the morning, but also return back to the shop to pick up the new glass and attempt to keep these new customers satisfied. Safelite has expectations for each job you do. The technician must complete the job in a timely manner (120 mins), vacuum each car, wash ALL the outside windows, and inform the customer about the online survey they can take. It is a bit much to complete within a small period of time when you have many more jobs to go to next. Most customers will give you a hard time due to many factors. The price of the job is too much, you took too long to install the new part, or you did not arrive when you said you would.Its no easy task keeping all of your customers happy when you are given an absurd amount of jobs to complete. Most technicians learn to start cutting corners on each job to get things done.

Pros

Working hours, easy to learn, great environment.

Cons

The 1 minute late, rule. If you’re ONE minute late from break, lunch, or even clocking in.. it counts toward your “infractions”. You can only get 3 for the first 60 days. Even if your wifi goes out, you get sick.. anything. It counts.

Pros

The fact that they will teach you and train you to install Auto Glass? Cannot answer this truthfully

Cons

I've applied twice to the tech training position. The first time I thought that I may have made an error? The Yellow Brick Rd location had adds for 18 positions available. I applied again fixing what I thought the issue to be. I was again sent an email that they were not moving to the next step with me. This makes ZERO sense. I was just recently a slot tech out of Horseshoe. I also was a tech for a company that handed a few interior pieces for Amtrak.
