Pros

The amount of work depends greatly on the walk-in customers on a daily basis it varies greatly. Some days you will be very busy and some days you could be getting paid to clean up shop area or just stand around doing nothing.

Cons

Cons are that if you are entry level, the Mechanics making $34 hour (mechanic A) can get frustrated if they have to stop thier current job to "help" you out in areas such as learning the PepBoys equip. Such as the laser wheel balance machine and other equipment in the shop. I'm a fast learning and only have to be shown 1 time on most equipment. The more experienced mechanic is either nice to you and wants to help you learn all the equiptment or they are rude to you and treat you like you are bothering them.

Pros

The 401k is great! And the manager at my store is pretty awesome too.

Cons

Open every holiday other than Christmas Day and thanksgiving day. Pepboys does not close for anything. They want everyone to work in 100+ degree weather with no A/C in shop and when the roads are unsafe to drive in winter. Company does not care about it’s employees
