Pros

Some of the best traning in the industry, rewarded for getting ASE certifications, ($250 bonus per cert + $500 for L1) decent work environment, good benefits and retirement plan

Cons

Management is all numbers driven, if you don't meet expectations you are replaced, demoted, or terminated. You are guaranteed 75% of your clock hours, up to 30 a week, but are often worked 50+ hours a week and unless you are REALLY fast you won't go over 100% productivity. Motorist Assurance Program ensures flat rate times barely pay what it actually takes you to do the job while the company doubles and even triples the cost of parts to make up the difference (allowing the company to rake in profits while screwing over the technician)

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.
