Pros

The amount of work depends greatly on the walk-in customers on a daily basis it varies greatly. Some days you will be very busy and some days you could be getting paid to clean up shop area or just stand around doing nothing.

Cons

Cons are that if you are entry level, the Mechanics making $34 hour (mechanic A) can get frustrated if they have to stop thier current job to "help" you out in areas such as learning the PepBoys equip. Such as the laser wheel balance machine and other equipment in the shop. I'm a fast learning and only have to be shown 1 time on most equipment. The more experienced mechanic is either nice to you and wants to help you learn all the equiptment or they are rude to you and treat you like you are bothering them.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Consistent hours. Account is manageable ADP login has good options.

Cons

Toxic environment with toxic management, extremely high stress, unqualified technicians messing up customers vehicles. Difficult to use your PTO or take time off. Can be extremely busy at times multiple shifts without a lunch break having to work past closing time. Also working shifts at time by yourself from open to close with no help.
