Business Outlook

Pros

As an automotive technician, you would be hard pressed to find a better environment better than a PAG store. They are not afraid to expense facility, maintenance, tools and equipment. The reason for that is the CEO is a true car guy and winning race team owner. This company wants you to have everything you need to do your job, and there will almost never be an excuse that you didn't have everything. I have been turning wrenches for 30 + years. Independents, mom and pop dealers, small family dealership groups, and larger corporate dealership groups. I was a shop foreman for 14 years of my career. I had peaked and was burnt out. I truly love wrenching. and decided to go back on the line. I wanted the best opportunity overall and did not hesitate to seek employment with PAG. It is all about winning. Being the best. I have a mindset of organization, facility and tools to do my job. So does PAG. This company is a winning effort with achievements that cannot be appreciated unless you have worked in an environment where less and status quo was acceptable.

Cons

There are none. The OEM brands are the cons with the low warranty labor times. The market where you are is going to dictate what the top flat rate hour rate is for the techs. Anywhere you go. The pros outweigh the cons

Horrible Management / Hostile Work Environment

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Regular work hours, OT is discouraged

Cons

Hostile work environment along with varying degrees of harassment go unchecked (gender, sexual, racial) Lack of anti-nepotism policy/enforcement with rampant favoritism and a complete disregard for policy / regulations occurring at the highest level of the organization. Poor / disconnected / untrained and uninformed upper management. Non-functional Human Resources roles do not allow for support or visibility into ongoing risk for legal exposure, much less have an impact on employee moral and retention. Poor compensation package, some semi-skilled technical roles pay less than a fast food employer. Lack of training and advancement opportunities for highly productive and performing individuals
