Pros

Semi Consistent Work, Wide Customer Base, Most of the Employees want to help the customer, Positive group of people to work with.

Cons

Too much corprate "planning" push downs, lack of communication through managment/workers, Having to "warranty" repairs by other Pepboys (stores that chose not to do any warranty repairs even if they did the orginial work). Corporate is requiring certain percentages of work (rather than fixing what is wrong, they are looking for specific repairs to be on tickets).

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.
