Pros

Being a manager you have some flexabilty in your scheduale, if in a busy location you can make some decent money.

Cons

Corporate expectations are not based on real world circumstances. We are not suppose to say no to a customer when they request service, but if all the techs are busying and you have people waiting as well as appointments comming in, how is it possible to say to some one walking in sure we can help you??? You are expected to pull the car in and have customer take a seat. After a while that customer is going to say hey why did you pull my car in if no one is going to work on it?/ I have been here 45 minutes and no one has gotten near it yet?? It only causes issues and generates complaints.

Pros

Through my career I have learned a lot on the automotive industry.

Cons

Corporate found a way to cut payroll by approximately $1k monthly to former assistant managers by eliminating the overtime associated with the position and eliminating the position , renamed it and lowered the hourly rate and put them under " commission ". Results...many guys looking for a new job cause with cost of living constantly increasing pay went down drastically plus most stores are understaffed but corporate keeps pushing for productivity, really bad work environment.
