Pros

Good benefits. Pay is less per hour than most car repair shops, but is hourly and not flat rate.

Cons

Very poor management. Service centers run extremely inefficient with too many people in very small shops. Most service managers are hired from outside the automotive industry and not promoted from within. Layoffs in 10/17, 6/18, and 1/19. Layoffs were mostly good employees that have been with the company the longest. They don't listening to what employees that know the automotive repair business have to say.

Pros

It's cool that you are working for a company that is changing the world but they do not take care of the employees.

Constantly understaffed, no holiday parties, tons of overtime, horrible regional managers.
