Pros

Wealth of knowledge and experience, a well known brand name, a lot of talented employees. Has all the potential to be great.

Cons

New structure has siloed and segregated all departments, individual department objectives cause major problems for other lines of business. Too many mangers cause micromanagement, and there are not enough hours in a day to complete all required work, that applies to field and office. Main focus from above is separating customers from their money and profit margins. Bonus structure is rigged like a casino, looks obtainable, but only if you over charge the customer to the point of forcing them to look elsewhere for better pricing. Office environment is extremely toxic and sales driven, leaving zero support for operations and field support. Mechanics forced to do drive by maintenance, which causes shutdowns and repairs, resulting in excessive costs for Otis customers. Office turnover rate is equivalent to a department store entrance, people are fleeing, especially managers. Sell sell sell is the one and only goal, even if it’s wrong. This is not the reflection of mechanics, but of management only, mechanics are embarrassed and disheartened by leadership actions.

Pros

Salary is decent, local team is great

Cons

No support. Senior management is disconnected from local operations. Life/work balance and benefits are getting worse every year. Benefits are pretty bad and each year it's surprising how they get worse.

Pros

Still has a good name in the industry

Cons

Reducing staff and not valuing long term employees to save money on salaries. Putting top performers on performance plans when they are meeting goals. Removing any support services and cannot retain top mechanic staff due to poor management. Cannot live up to promises being made at time of contracting. Benefits are poor, high deductible only. Do not reimburse car mileage or expenses correctly. Do not offer company card or gas card either.
