Pros

Former EVP of Sales/Opps (newly promoted President) is strong visionary. Has real passion for the company.Company will continue to go far with his continued leadership. Chip Wood, owner, is a humble and down to earth person who truly cares about his employees. When he walks in the door, you would never expect who you see. Both of these leaders very driven and have high expectation but are a truly a pleasure to work for.

Cons

Growing very fast, this is good and bad. Many employees feel that growth of company is more important that the employees themselves. Some of this is natural human element of resistence to change. But too much change in a short time creates fear in existing talent if not communicated and delivered effectively even with the best of intentions.

Pros

Weekly pay, part and service discounts (not much or really worth it), no sundays.Nearly impossible to be fired, being hurt and failing a drug test, or stealing tires are the only two ways I've seen guys leave unwillingly. And apparently you can call off at anytime as long as some one is/can be scheduled in your place.

Cons

Keeping it short as possible EVERYTHING ELSE. My extended response is.. First the pay you are better off on a grill or in a drive through window. Tire tech 1 pays $9.00/hr. And I would not recommend that $9 to my worst enemy for what it's worth.. As a tire tech you are required to do everything that the commission boys (EVERY other position in the shop) doesn't want to do. All house keeping and janitorial duties are only mandatory for Tire tech bottom feeders. Service technicians get away with murder because store management needs them to accumulate REVENUE, the basis of all tire Discounters (money coming in).I am the only tire tech in the store when I'm working. Minus most Saturdays and maybe 5 hours total a week when the other tech works concurrently with me, demand>labor. I'm only allowed 35 hours weekly and absolutely NO over time.as a tire tech 3/5 I make 10.50 after tax I see about $270-280 weekly. I couldn't imagine taking on the responsibility of my daughter alone on that income and it's crazy how im expected to. There's so much more to add but I have to go back and live it tomorrow at 730am. I'm warning anyone looking for entry level work to stay far far away from this company until there is a massive reform financially for laborers...... Atleast CHIP WOOD is comfortable, that's all that matters right?
