Pros

at least when it comes to the typical holidays they are not off limits to take vacations sometimes like typical most retail companies that black out all those dates & times, not the best company to work for but also clearly not the worst

Cons

Too many to list, but big issues center around constant changes in directions the company wants to go, lots of upper management & executive changes * revolving doors, many of the new area directors have no experiance or knowledge needed to do their jobs

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.
