Pros

Pay and co workers are decent

Cons

Let's start off with saying Christian brothers somehow has control over everything said about them online. I've tried writing 3 separate reviews here and they all dissappear.... if it's negative it won't get published. I find the Google reviews for the location I work at to also be controlled. We have a terrible reputation (did not know that when I started, in fact I was interested coming to work there because of their Google reviews). In summary, we charge more than the Dealer while using aftermarket parts, our overall product is not good, we have a high comeback rate, the hours are long, everyone works 50+ hours a week except the owners. The owners are not there every day and collectively they (husband and wife) work maybe 20-25 hours a week. There is no leadership, management, the husband watches the security cameras from home and calls in when he sees something he does not like. You can imagine how toxic the culture is. For this location the "Christian" element is just a gimmick. It's effective but not sincere. I would never recommend a friend or family member to bring their vehicle to us for service.

Pros

World class technicians most of the time, but their best one just moved back to Dallas cause he couldn't deal with the owners betrayal of individuals any longer. Some community out reach, but only when it really benefits the owner as a tax write off.

Cons

The owner is over bearing, disloyal and a liar. He will promise you the world and then stab you in the back. I now know what it's like to work for an unforgiving selfish and toxic tyrant. Don't trust the staff either there are to many snakes in the grass to count. The owner loves pitting his staff against one another to see who will lie and tell on the other. Some days it felt like I was on the Survivor TV show. The owner is one of the biggest narcissist I have ever encountered. Also the health benefits are very costly. The owner feels that paying for $300.00 a month towards your health care is generous, but they are the most expensive health care costs I have ever encountered. My cost was still nearly another $900.00 a month. Advice to Management

Pros

Weekends off. Average pay, not low like dealerships and Firestone pays. Most CB shops get real busy.

Cons

Most owners are fake Christians. Terrible people to work for. Insurance benefits are expensive, no guarantee. Almost all managers I have seen in CB are incompetent. They try to use Jesus and God to manipulate you into doing things for free. Not right when you pay strictly commission with no guarantee. Most CB shops have a high turnover. Notice how they are always hiring to fill openings, just like Firestone!
