Pros

The people and a descent starting wage, the mechanics are good people. The location is nice real close to the highway for easy access and food having the Mall right across the street.

Cons

Some of the leads and CSR’s are awesome but some are just mean and not professional so be careful who they put you with especially on the prop side.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Other workers are good at training you.

Cons

They sometimes wait to the day before to tell you you have to work overtime. Seems like they don't care about their employees. Can not move up in the company unless you have 4 yr college degree
