Vantaggi

1 in 5 customers are nice and understanding Pay can be okay at times

Svantaggi

Most customers are rude and don’t try to understand issues that arise with their vehicle and this is mostly because the company grooms the target customer into coming in with false advertising. They force employees to work all weekend saying “Saturdays and sundays are all-hands-on-deck” when those days are hit or miss when it comes to being busy and they write you up or fire you if you have life going on and can’t do weekends. Most equipment in the shop is outdated and doesn’t work When there is an issue with a customer vehicle not caused by the shop, the company will still side with the customer and possibly fire a mechanic or write them up The company creates new policies, procedures, promotions and other additions to the business operations and forces it on every location even if certain locations can’t accommodate for it. Customer only self scheduling is seriously flawed; if the shop is full for a day customers still are able to make appointments and when you can’t accommodate same day they put in a complaint and the company blames the shop The pay is okay but it doesn’t account for the mental stress you take on when you have no support from corporate members. In most cases your mechanics, advisors and manager in store is all you get help from. Once you go into a location, it’s you and your shop against everything You can advance quickly. Mechanics can become advisors or managers and vice versa as long as you have a somewhat good relationship with your area director

Vantaggi

The competitive pay. Thats about it

Svantaggi

The whole guarantee system. Management, equipment. To anyone who decides to go to pepboys as a flat rate tech, they changed the guarantee system to where if you're not efficient, you only get what you flagged. So if management is bad, the location is bad and its slow, it gets rough. Prior it was a guaranteed pay based on you hitting 40 hours. Their excuse was people "abusing" which is really backwards thinking. If you're starting out, I recommend Firestone. The pay might be slightly worse but you'll have a guarantee of at least 30 hours. Also management at my location seems content only doing tires and flat repairs that hit budget. All while I have to come to them to see if my ticket got sold or if the fleet company approved of the work.
