Pros

Clean area to work. Decent benefits

Cons

Total disaster as far as management. Lack of equipment. Frame rack is missing parts, paint both is only a prep booth. Not a lot of area to work. Lots of turnover of employees. Not a lot of work

There was some truth in the reviewer’s comments. We recently added collision repair to our mechanical repair business and our collision revenue has grown quickly--but perhaps we grew too fast. Since that review was done, we have changed management of the collision division, implemented a new collision management system (CCC1) which is helping to improve organization and work flow, and we have added some equipment including parts for the frame rack. We also added a parts mezzanine to make more room for the collision staff to work. We now have an outstanding team, and are on track again. Come check us out!

Pros

Opportunities for advancement to management. The company sets the standard for employers in the automotive service industry. Above average pay and benefits and a Monday through Friday work week. Monthly meetings allow every employee to have a voice. Fast paced and a progressive attitude makes for a positive work environment. The owner is onsite and involved in daily operations.

Cons

The days can be long in the service industry but the mandatory flex time off provides a nice break.

Pros

The guys in the shop are great group of guys to work and weekends off which is rare in the industry.

Cons

Where do I begin: -Excessively long hours (55-60 hours a week if not more) -Good luck trying to take a lunch if you are an Advisor. -Be ready to be micro managed in everything you do. -Be ready to go to meeting twice a month where you will be there until 9pm even when you been there since 6:45am -The owner is only looking for "Yes Men" and no one with an opinion. - He wants someone that is willing to be stuck in the same job their whole life and be happy with it. -Even when you are on time you are late. -Was told hours are 7-6 but what that really means is 6:30 until 7:30 and that is regular days.

We like to hire nice, intelligent, career oriented people that get things done, and unfortunately the reviewer simply didn’t fit the bill and was terminated. Our managers are conscientious and do work hard, but the reviewer is exaggerating as to the number of hours worked and the reviewer failed to point out that we also allow flexible scheduling for our managers. While we do have evening staff meetings (entire crew) once per month, as well as one evening manager’s meeting once per month, we do so because we believe that it is important that all managers and staff are kept informed and have a chance to provide input in the direction of the company. Unfortunately, in our business, such meetings can only be held on off hours, and, as the reviewer indicated we rarely work any time on weekends. We wish the reviewer best of luck in his future endeavors.
