Pros

Every customer, and their vehicle present a unique challenge and experience. Not the normal retail monotony. - Time Flies! Days off and work shifts are flexible. Good Benefits. Bonuses are real, and obtainable. Close earlier than most retail stores. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and 4th of July. Not busy during Christmas Company Values integrity, and is empowers employees to take care of customers.

Cons

Managers required to work weekend sales events once a month that are usually holiday weekends that normal people get 3 days off like labor day, memorial day, presidents day. Manager required to work one Sunday a month, but not allowed to take Monday off. Expected to work 6 days on weeks we are required to work Sunday. Average store has a small staff of 3 customer service associates including the store manager, to cover being open 7 days a week 12 hours a day. 50-60 hour work weeks normal for everyone. Not a lot of room for time off. You must be very hands on to work here, not much delegation, hapening around here. You will be accountable for personall performance, and leadership doesn't count for much. No Work life balance, long hours with no comp-time. Must work every Saturday. People promoted for being good sales people, not good leaders. Higher ups will ignore problems in store and managers who abuse employees as long as sales are good in store. Lack of development beyond store manager level. Culture of the manager carrying the store and upper management believes the store will fail or sales will fall short on managers day off.

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.
