Pros

Upbeat leadership, lead with positivity, job security, freedom to innovate.

Cons

When real, actual problems arise, they fall on deaf ears and are disregarded as temporary issues without strategy investment. Hiring pool is weak, will hire anybody without any experience which will ultimately be your downfall. No real world training programs in place anymore. I was never trained to do my job, anybody new who was hired was not allowed to take the internal hands on training courses. They just sit you in front of a computer for mindless e-learning. Many locations operating in violation of state code and law, many locations leaning on salary abuse of time to limp through low employment. The bonus programs in place has been slowly chipped away at, making bonus almost impossible to achieve, although the programs can be very lucrative. They bank on you not hitting the numbers. Prior management errors will directly affect your bonus program. One bonus program is structured on operating costs and they have the authority to make purchases expensed to your location which has and will erode your bonus payments, etc etc

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
