Pros

Discounts on their tires, paid vacation, paid holidays off

Cons

Their tires are extremely overpriced so your discount isnt cheaper than what you could have the same thing done for at discount tire. Hours are never the same, youll work at 8 am one day and 3pm the next. The techs get ripped off when people get the "free" alignment. No its not free. The customer doesnt pay for it, but the tech does by not gettinf their commission for the alignment

Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback seriously and act upon any learnings. However, in this case your claims are simply not accurate and we want to help clear things up. Our tire only price is listed on our website and competitive in our markets. Service Technicians that perform any alignment, even the free ones, do get paid not only their hourly pay but also any earned commission. We appreciate your time with us at Tire Discounters and are sorry we were unable to talk with you to resolve any issues before you left the company.

Pros

Weekly pay, part and service discounts (not much or really worth it), no sundays.Nearly impossible to be fired, being hurt and failing a drug test, or stealing tires are the only two ways I've seen guys leave unwillingly. And apparently you can call off at anytime as long as some one is/can be scheduled in your place.

Cons

Keeping it short as possible EVERYTHING ELSE. My extended response is.. First the pay you are better off on a grill or in a drive through window. Tire tech 1 pays $9.00/hr. And I would not recommend that $9 to my worst enemy for what it's worth.. As a tire tech you are required to do everything that the commission boys (EVERY other position in the shop) doesn't want to do. All house keeping and janitorial duties are only mandatory for Tire tech bottom feeders. Service technicians get away with murder because store management needs them to accumulate REVENUE, the basis of all tire Discounters (money coming in).I am the only tire tech in the store when I'm working. Minus most Saturdays and maybe 5 hours total a week when the other tech works concurrently with me, demand>labor. I'm only allowed 35 hours weekly and absolutely NO over time.as a tire tech 3/5 I make 10.50 after tax I see about $270-280 weekly. I couldn't imagine taking on the responsibility of my daughter alone on that income and it's crazy how im expected to. There's so much more to add but I have to go back and live it tomorrow at 730am. I'm warning anyone looking for entry level work to stay far far away from this company until there is a massive reform financially for laborers...... Atleast CHIP WOOD is comfortable, that's all that matters right?

Pros

Nothing I can think of other than being closed on Sunday's

Cons

Company infighting rumor driven scare tactics...no training to speak of...without a doubt the worse career decision of my life...management Is clueless at to what's going on in their stores...NO breaks forced to eat while working or not eat at all...ZERO home life if your married or have children or anything outside of work you value kiss that goodbye.
