poorly managed and horrible work life balance.

Technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good hourly pay and the technicians you work with aren't bad.

Cons

This is for the Dallas location at west keist blvd. Horrible management. Work life balance is non existent. They will expect you to work till 3 in the morning and be back to work by 8 am. They dont care about you, or any other employee in the shop. You are just a number to them and who cares if you are hurt or tired. They have no problem asking you to do more work but when you want pay to match all the new responsibilities they try to get rid of you. I've heard from former coworkers that its finally starting to get better.
