Pros

Good pay for the area compared to other jobs. $12 per hour in high school. The people in the tire department were mostly fun to work with and would accomodate any time off needed. Not too hard work and ample downtime for messing around.

Cons

I went there mainly for the management trainee program that they offered only to find out that they don't take current employees for the program. I was told during the hiring process that this would be no problem but was later denied acceptance. This would have been fine had I not solely gone there for this program. As far as a regular job, this job was mostly ok but had its cons. There are video cameras everywhere capturing your every move unless you know where the blind spots are. I was often pulled from my regular shop duties to help in other areas of the club. Most of the time we got stuck doing the jobs the regular crew didn't want to do. The shop started holding premium member hours which allowed premium members to come in at 6 a.m. to get tire work done. I was often called upon to close the shop at 9p.m. and opet at 6a.m. the next morning.

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
