Pros

The only good thing I can say about working at Pep Boys is that as a part time employer they a flexible about when you need to work and you get a discount on your own purchases.

Cons

What this company pays you is insulting not even minimum wage and a pathetic percentage as commission even if you are a parts professional with multiple years of experience. When a offer for some sort of management within the store its even more insulting, this is the reason why the company cannot keep good people working and building a great team to service customers. Last but not least try not to promote store managers to ADM because they really forget what its like to run a store with all there demands that are expected and unrealistic.

Pros

The competitive pay. Thats about it

Cons

The whole guarantee system. Management, equipment. To anyone who decides to go to pepboys as a flat rate tech, they changed the guarantee system to where if you're not efficient, you only get what you flagged. So if management is bad, the location is bad and its slow, it gets rough. Prior it was a guaranteed pay based on you hitting 40 hours. Their excuse was people "abusing" which is really backwards thinking. If you're starting out, I recommend Firestone. The pay might be slightly worse but you'll have a guarantee of at least 30 hours. Also management at my location seems content only doing tires and flat repairs that hit budget. All while I have to come to them to see if my ticket got sold or if the fleet company approved of the work.
