Pros

The company as a whole has great benefits and pays very well. As a full-time technician you are making $14 an hour. You can also earn up to a $300 bonus each week for meeting the criteria of customer satisfaction. I was in training for the first 3 months until assigned a store to then work under the supervision of a master tech. All tools were provided by the company and I was assigned a work van that I could drive home after the day was done. The environment was friendly where every technician would help out each other when necessary.

Cons

When full-time you don't have set hours. You arrive before 8 AM to load up your van with your glass for the days work and you aren't done until you finish all your jobs. At any point throughout the day more jobs will be added to your route. This means that you need to not only complete the jobs given to you in the morning, but also return back to the shop to pick up the new glass and attempt to keep these new customers satisfied. Safelite has expectations for each job you do. The technician must complete the job in a timely manner (120 mins), vacuum each car, wash ALL the outside windows, and inform the customer about the online survey they can take. It is a bit much to complete within a small period of time when you have many more jobs to go to next. Most customers will give you a hard time due to many factors. The price of the job is too much, you took too long to install the new part, or you did not arrive when you said you would.Its no easy task keeping all of your customers happy when you are given an absurd amount of jobs to complete. Most technicians learn to start cutting corners on each job to get things done.

Pros

Tons of extra overtime pay, opportunity for your pay to change by 5 or 10 percent in either direction twice a year, completely free from corporate communication, bonuses will be held and never paid out so you dont have to worry about saving it yourself! Cheers to the belron "thank you" (more like a belron "screw you") they gave us years ago and I never saw a dime of before I left.

Cons

Surprise! Six day weeks. Maybe 7 we dont know. Whoops all loaned out to other shops, little to no warning or planning You dont matter to anyone in your chain of command They want you to feel like you can talk to them.. but not to actually do it. No follow up from management, everything is out of their hands and yadda yadda yadda
