Pros

Great place to learn how to change tires and change oil.

Cons

One of the worst work atmospheres I've ever witnessed. Racism was rampant when I was there. Everyone is paid book-rate, all of the job tickets go to the two top mechanics first before being distributed anywhere else. If service managers give tickets to anyone else, top mechanics will force out the service manager, or bully them until they quit.

Pros

Through my career I have learned a lot on the automotive industry.

Cons

Corporate found a way to cut payroll by approximately $1k monthly to former assistant managers by eliminating the overtime associated with the position and eliminating the position , renamed it and lowered the hourly rate and put them under " commission ". Results...many guys looking for a new job cause with cost of living constantly increasing pay went down drastically plus most stores are understaffed but corporate keeps pushing for productivity, really bad work environment.
