Pros

Good pay for sales starting out, good bonuses for management if they hit their numbers, mechanics not flat rate, it's a job.

Cons

Long hours away from home 12+ a day, days off often broken apart, no weekends, Expected to work some Sundays and all Saturdays irregardless of religious affiliation, will hire you to the second closest store to your house (they do this so they have free tire transport between stores), expects employees to go to other nearby stores on their time off to pick up tires and bring them in and rarely reimburse for this, in fact seeking reimbursement if often discouraged, high pressure sales environment from upper management, very low commisions, mechanics are often heavily commision based which leads to suggesting more services than what a customer really needs at the time in order to make a paycheck, mechs are expected to work without lunches and if they don't they won't receive work that pays, company will search your personal vehicle without probable cause for stolen items without your permission during an audit, sales and management is instructed never to turn business away which takes the power of controlling a schedule out of their hands and often leads to missed lunches, long days and not closing at closing time in order to take care of that last $20 oil change that came in 10 minutes before closing time, mystery-shops on the phone to make sure you are reading a script to the customers, will secretly videotape its employees (in store mystery shopper) and will use the videotape to make an example of it's employees who are not "performing up to par", management will lie to both customers (in order to get them in the door) and it's employees (often times promising career advancement in order to get employee to work harder). Company is run in what I would consider to be a very immoral fashion.

Pros

For someone new to the auto repair field, they will show you the ropes and train you.

Cons

You work on commission, and they will give you "come back" work to do for free while lower level techs are working all the high commission jobs. Management has no cares for your life outside of the work place. You are expected to work through your lunch break off the clock if busy.

Pros

Employee's are very relaxed with each other. Its nice to work in an open garage, I was lucky to be located where a wind tunnel caused fresh air to blow into the shop, which can soften a lot of stress.

Cons

Others may experience differently as each location is privately owned. But I had 3 managers at "all" times telling me what to do constantly. That would have been fine if they all didn't give me a different instruction to do. I ended up getting yelled at every time they walked by asking "What are you doing!?" I would explain that Manager number 2 told me to do it this way...and they would tell me that "Manager number 2 is an idiot, do it this way".....and so on. All the managers I worked with had terrible attitudes, horrible language and Egos' as high as the sky. As a tech we are worked to the bone, never a down moment unless there were no customers, in which we had to clean up oil drums and basically scrub the floors on our hands and knees. Pay was $8.50hr with supposed commission, which is a misconception, because you are paid commission on "work labor" not tire sales or brake replacements or anything else. just hours worked on the vehicle, which EVERY customer had a coupon that said "free installation" or "free oil change with purchase of this tires" And to make it worse, many customers complained about how long they have been waiting and the manager would always negotiate with them by throwing in the labor for free, to satisfy them......and its very painful on my back lifting 23" wheels on and off cars all day for $47 bucks earned (after tax's) at the end of a 9 hour day. Also, their equipment, and I mean ALL of it was broken, we had to jimmy, and fabricate repairs to the tire changer and alignment machine weekly, nothing worked, and half of the gear was just sitting around, out of service collecting dust. If you think working at The Tire Choice means you can work on your own car as a benefit? Nope, they charge you labor hours for working on your own car, even if its on or off the clock. They offer you a 50% discount on labor, even if you do it yourself....which is non-sense. But good luck getting your car in the shop on your off time, because the shop is "always" reserved for customers, even when there isn't a customer in sight...I would not recommend anyone work here.
