Pros

It was fun at first but became toxic very quickly as poor hiring decision made life more and more difficult.

Cons

No accountability for certain demographics. Buddies hiring their buddies, HR will ignore toxic and illegal behavior. Forced travel beyond contract, forced to work on PTO and skip breaks. I once clocked 36 hours because they forgot to put a backup in my place and I was traveling. Honestly no one their cares about what happens. It's very Amazon...

Pros

-Salary -Benefits -Training for technicians is improving

Cons

-Pay rates for new hires will not be as high as mine was. -Benefits get worse and more expensive every year. -Extremely high stress. -FRT times for many repairs are unrealistic -Communication between technicians, service advisors and customers is astonishingly bad. -Upper management for service clearly doesn’t understand what goes into repairing a vehicle. They think it is factory style work and develop unrealistic productivity metrics for the service centers. -Goalposts for metrics are constantly moving. One metric will matter one week, and be completely meaningless the next when another one is put in the spotlight.
