Pros

They weren't open a ton of hours when you'd think they should be open for business so the schedule was pretty awesome. The co-workers are generally helpful and friendly.

Cons

If you are changing tires dont think you are moving up the ranks anytime soon. Its hard to find people willing to bend over and get dirty all day lifting heavy tires all over the place for as little as they pay. Pay increases are pathetic and infrequent. My manager was a total jerk to everyone. You will be tired as balls after a long shift and think of all the other things you could do to make the sorry amount of your paycheck

Pros

professional, well-organized and well trained personnel. Emphasis on sound character and professionalism. Large corporate structure offers numerous incentives and strong potential for earnings and benefits. Good people, good mission statement, business model and vision is well executed.

Cons

It's a two edged sword: large corporate structure also leaves some people lost in the shuffle, even jaded. There's a loss of connectivity; interpersonal relationships, which need to be genuine so as to reinforce team unity and foster good customer relations, become dull and impersonal.

Pros

The company is fantastic in regards to earning potential. If you are willing to dedicate a lot of time and hard work you can move up rather quickly. No degree necessary purely performance based. The owner of the company makes a good effort to offer opportunities such as Bonuses as well as trips for employees. SR management has a great package including a car allowance larger than what most Americans will make in a year. The camaraderie is wonderful. I really enjoyed the people.

Cons

There are few downsides to the job but they are bigger to some than others. The job is very demanding and high stress. Customers can be difficult and a thick skin can be necessary at times. For management the hours can be a bit excessive around 60hrs a week. Vacation is limited as well. No sick days are provided therefore vacation days must be used in their place. The insurance provided is okay but could be better. Even as a manager manual labor is still required IE changing wheels and tires. It can definitely wear on you. For me personally I have back issues so it was challenging.
