Pros

I love teaching and passing on the knowledge I possess. It is truly heart warming to me to have so many student come back to me (at some later date in time) and have them thank me for everything I did to help them out.

Cons

When you work out in the Field as an Automotive Technician you are making more money and its hard to adjust to less pay when you have always made more. The raises are small and I'm one of the top performers there as an Instructor. I have been there over 7 years and I have only had like a total of $3.00 in raises. Due to the high inflation rates in Houston that is no where near enough. There is no way to move up either. All the management positions have been occupied the entire time I have been there without any indications any of them will be vacating any time soon.

Pros

The interview, where things are positive and promising,

Cons

Be prepared to work 24/7, Manager calls on evenings to jump on a teams call, calls on weekends regularly to micromanage calls etc. Management is a overbearing, micro-manager with a massive ego problem. Just because we share a military background does not mean we will tolerate such poor behavior. Over 10 HR complaints against this man, he continues to be protected, supported and defended by upper Management. Micromanagement on all levels. 2 hour (unnecessary) team meetings which is his time to hear himself talk. Brings his wife to work and on work lunches despite several complaints about this. Wife thinks everyone wants to have a relationship with him, Sis, we are trying to figure out WHY you are. Hard pass on this position and this company.
