Pros

From my experience, almost no pros that I can list. Maybe the experience of knowing which fluids are correct for the vehicle but only because I did my research.

Cons

These guys are not mechanics. I wouldn't trust my car to the manager I worked for. 11th generation Corollas with cvt transmission and these guys were putting in basic Chevron synthetic ATF(automatic transmission fluid) into those continuously variable transmissions. Smelled pretty fishy to me. I saved some customers with cvt transmissions from putting in cheap knockoff fluid or wrong spec ATF fluid through my own knowledge of cars. There's alot more misinformation within the company but it'd take me hours to explain what was going on. Just a small example

Pros

They pay once fully certified is above average for comparable jobs. Training is all done in house so no previous automotive experience is required.

Cons

Poor management on a store level (especially in Elk Grove). Management frequently puts employees in dangerous situations. The constant sales pitching is annoying and will make you hate the job. Much of the company culture is smarmy and annoying. You will grow tired of "oilspeak" (the company has a secret code for everything they do in the shop). It grows tiring to speak that way and is kind of dishonest in how it is works.
