Pros

Good benefits for your own automotive care needs, health care, 401k with company match and school tuition reimbursement.

Cons

The company says one thing but actions prove otherwise. They say they care about employees but stopped investing in their training programs to save a few bucks. They say they care about career paths, it used to be exclusively a promote from within company but when Larry Magee retired as CEO they kicked out the entire exec team and replaced with execs from failing business like Best Buy, Radio Shack and now Toys R Us. They say they value honesty but fire people who speak their mind and don't tie the company line. How can you respect a company that doesn't back up its platitudes with actions?

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
