Pros

Our recent management team is great and very supportive but they have taken a beating as far as staffing goes. The work can be rewarding mentally when customers are happy but when they're not, it can be rough. Great coworkers when they stick around too!

Cons

Constant micromanaging from corporate causes stress everywhere!! Low pay, high stress, corporate doesn't care about you! We lose several techs every few months to slightly higher paying jobs that have career growth and are substantially less stressful. Makes a good stepping stone but hurts the team every time. One was told by a very senior manager that we can leave any day we want because we're easily replaceable... Really concerning view to have. Corporate changes goals and how you do the job every month it seems. Job requirements keep increasing while they're are no pay raises as company policy. Seniority doesn't matter as you get taken advantage of eventually if you over achieve instead of getting rewarded. Pay sucks if you can't sell high labor repairs or if you can't do loads of small repairs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with your local management team and coworkers—they play a critical role in our store environment and overall success. We understand that our Service department’s commission-based structure may not be the right fit for everyone. It’s designed to reward technical skill, productivity, and excellent customer service, and it gives technicians the opportunity to earn more based on their performance. That said, we respect when individuals decide the role isn’t aligned with their career goals or expectations. Corporate oversight is centered around ensuring consistent, high-quality service for our customers and providing employees the opportunity to grow their skills and income. We actively review customer feedback and department procedures to improve both the customer and employee experience. We acknowledge that communication can always be improved, and we appreciate that insight. We wish you continued success and thank you again for your time with us.

Pros

The employee discount is okay on non-electronic items.

Cons

Extremely pushy on how to fully screw the customer by forcing PROTECTION PLANS. Disgusting management. No respect for employees. Slightly racist. If you don't attach a plan, something is seriously wrong with you.
