no one believed me that I had a great job and actually enjoyed working for Discount Tire, very long hours, it takes a lot of hard work as a tire tech to get promoted

Advice to Senior Management

a little more flexibility in the hours and structure of the work day would be appreciated, give more respect to part timers and more of them will stay on and become good performers

Pros

Promote from within- Fantastic pay and benefits

Cons

Long hours and most Saturdays

Advice to Senior Management

none

Pros

Discount has good pay for part time. The job is fairly easy and does not require a large amount of thinking.

Cons

They do not hold up to their 6 month raises and and it is a very physically taxing job. It can also be stressful when very busy

Advice to Senior Management

They do a good with few mess ups

Pros

The money is good for high school or college students, and the ability to make a successfull career for yourself is there. Also, the camaraderie is great, I've worked at a couple different stores and always like the guys I worked with.

Cons

Either sell your soul to Discount Tire and live the dream for life, or go get another job b/c it is not worth the stress you have to put up with sometimes. The only truely good money is Store Manager or above and your gonna work your butt off for 10 years and then you still might not get there. Oh, and your body wont work by the time your 30.

Advice to Senior Management

upmh makes the techs live suck

Pros

They promote from within. Never hire from the outside into upper management.

Cons

long hours and difficult customers

Advice to Senior Management

keep up with the training and once you impliment something stick to it.

Pros

the money is descent. A monkey could do the job. If you are good at the politics game, you will go alot farther than a strong work ethic will take you.

Cons

long hours, constant stress,promotions are a popularity contest. The sr. management are great at double talk and dangling the carrot on a stick! Be careful and listen closely or you will be in ten years or more hanging on for that "dream of store manager" where the streets are paved with gold!! Truth is only one of ten make it to that and of that only a small percentage make really good bonuses...

Advice to Senior Management

give cost of living raises for guys who have been around a long time w/ no advancement. A reason to get up in the morning

Pros

Great Benefits & Job Security. Discounted Tire Purchases for employees. Opportunity to win event and game tickets. Frequent Luncheons provided. Company participates in many charitable organizations. Friendly atmosphere. Covered Parking. New Building in a nice area. Fitness center on-site.

Cons

Very hard to move up in the company as they often hand pick employees rather than posting new positions and allowing all interested employees a try for a better position. They often give jobs to executive's family members even if they are not qualified for the position. Pay is okay but could improve considering the area they are in. Lots of manager and executive recognition but not enough recognition given to non-management employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Post all new job openings instead of hand selecting people for positions. Allow advancement opportunites for entry-level staff whom are often over-looked.
