Current Employee – been working at Jiffy Lube

ProsPeople you work with are like family after a while you depend on one another to make things runs smooth throughout the day. Learn alot of bassics about cars from tire rotations to A/C so its a good first automotive job no one else would hire me except jiffy lube. If you complete the computer traning you get a 25 cent raise and partial ASE certification.

ConsCrap pay for hard work(if you are at a busy store---if its slow you clean and hold a sign on the road all day) Constant pressure to sell items to people who sometimes dont need them. After about 4 months everything becomes repetive the only way to stay sane is to joke around with ur buddies at work. In my opinion the pros and cons of this job almost even out if only the pay was better!

Advice to Senior ManagementFix thingz when we ask for them to be fixed please 25% of the tools in the shop are always broken it shouldnt be up to us to fix crap in your store. Dont put so much pressure on CSA and Managers to sell they know what they have to do so let them be! Bottom line no job is perfect and this one is ok to get your foot in the door for the auto industry but hard to make ends meet with $7.50 an hour

Current Employee – been working at Jiffy Lube

ProsPretty good team environment, you get the opportunity to work with other people a lot, and to take a lot of different roles.

ConsThere is pressure to sell a lot of things, especially if your branch typically does well. There is not a lot of training involved, you have to learn on the fly.
