Pros

The benefits are the best I've seen in the industry, and there's a ok opportunity for techs to make money. It pays the bills if you meet their standards, which for techs means certifications and experience just to apply.

Cons

We were expected to stay sometimes 2 hours after the posted closing time if it means store profit. This became frustrating since I like having dinner with my family before 8 or 9p.m. Also the managers can sometimes imply that you may be replaced just because circumstances might yield less than ideal results. If there is work to be done don't expect to be permitted a well deserved time to eat lunch; or if you clock out for your 30 minutes it's not uncommon to be expected to begin work before your 30 is up. Turnover rates are through the roof. Moral in the shop is very low. Expected to work 48-50+ hours per week.

Pros

Great place for qualified techs who enjoy the hands-on nature of the work. And Jason was a good manager.

Cons

There is a significant disconnect between the front office and the shop floor. Service advisors are often "sales-oriented" rather than "service-oriented," which creates unnecessary friction. Management seems to prioritize sales figures over smooth operations, often resulting in "shop favorites" who get the best work while others struggle with pay consistency and high stress. I have seen many highly qualified individuals—people who truly understand how to run the back of the house—get passed over for leadership roles simply because they aren't "salespeople." A shop doesn't need a salesperson to manage the floor; it needs someone who knows how to move jobs along and support the technicians.
