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.
