Pros

-Mavis is willing to give anyone a chance, regardless of their background. This makes them invaluable to people who are just starting out in the Automotive Industry. -The pay system basically allows to make as much money as you want if you work in a busy store. -Each individual store has a family-like bond between employees that is sometimes annoying but is usually endearing. -The managers aren't exactly nice, but they are almost all very predictable and easy to work with once you are comfortable. -Lunch Breaks are never skipped, and the managers will occasionally buy you lunch. -Mavis is unique in the way that it can take the misery out of automotive mechanics by giving a number of technicians the opportunity to move up to management instead of spending the rest of their time as a laborer.

Cons

-Certain Managers with no automotive experience do not know how to talk to customers. -This is a "sales-based" work environment, take that as you will. -Senior Mechanics are entirely undervalued and are practically incompatible with their business model. -Conflicts are common between coworkers. -Because Mavis gives everyone a chance, you will meet people with awful work ethics. -Store-transfers are frequent and without reason.
