Pros

-Mavis is willing to give anyone a chance, regardless of their background. This makes them invaluable to people who are just starting out in the Automotive Industry. -The pay system basically allows to make as much money as you want if you work in a busy store. -Each individual store has a family-like bond between employees that is sometimes annoying but is usually endearing. -The managers aren't exactly nice, but they are almost all very predictable and easy to work with once you are comfortable. -Lunch Breaks are never skipped, and the managers will occasionally buy you lunch. -Mavis is unique in the way that it can take the misery out of automotive mechanics by giving a number of technicians the opportunity to move up to management instead of spending the rest of their time as a laborer.

Cons

-Certain Managers with no automotive experience do not know how to talk to customers. -This is a "sales-based" work environment, take that as you will. -Senior Mechanics are entirely undervalued and are practically incompatible with their business model. -Conflicts are common between coworkers. -Because Mavis gives everyone a chance, you will meet people with awful work ethics. -Store-transfers are frequent and without reason.

Pros

Coworkers at the store are great, love getting overtime, current store manager is great overall, location is clean enough

Cons

RTM is not friendly and doesn't not do what he's supposed to and is forgetful, the company doesn't fix things that are in dire need at any of the stores such as leaky roofs and lifts, pay is lower than the average, needing Google reviews and surveys for repeat customers is unnecessary, too much favoritism within the company, higher ups threaten jobs way too much that it stresses out everyone in the location
