Pros

Very good production team. The hourly workers will support you as well as they possibly can if you are straight forward with them and try and make their jobs easier.

Cons

Engineering management team has fired three senior level engineers in the past seven months, lost two high potential younger engineers to other opportunities and lost one engineer to early retirement. The work environment for engineers is toxic, they expect long hours and poor working conditions. They provide no assistance in learning the systems and they will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. It is the first time in a thirty year career I have ever been terminated, that coming off of a performance evaluation that said I was doing a great job.

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.
