Pros

I have to think hard...and long to find any pros to write about working for this company. I guess you could say it is EOE since they hire all ethnics and employ a lot of minorities. They allow flexible scheduling (pointless since they don't have any jobs available for you) And now they are advertising themselves as an auto repair leader (which may be true...if they count leading into the wrong direction as they are) And finally, they claim you will be making $45-55 an hour (yes, you will be paid flat-rate...and their hourly determination is geared to look low for the customer at your expense. You will NOT be paid for traffic travel time, picking up parts, opening the order, explaining to the customer, checking the vehicle, verifying your work, collecting from the customer and returning parts. Heaven forbid you should get the wrong parts or missed part!)

Cons

Their slogan is "for mechanics to do what they love" which is fixing cars. Yes, if you want to work with NO technical help or assistance AT ALL. You are literally ON YOUR OWN! Your mechanic just want to book a job for you and collect. YOU pay for your gas, vehicle, tools, supplies and do your own record keeping and file your 1099. The office is full of ignorant people run by ignoramous people!

Pros

no pros. This company sucks

Cons

This company is taking advantage of all their mobile mechanics. They want their mechanics to be like a robot. Run from one job to another without even 1 minute break. Its just a matter of time for the mechanics to wake up and leave them. After that they will make ZERO income and will shut down and go out of business with no question asked.

Pros

Free lunch and dinner, unlimited snacks.

Cons

Pay is very low. You get stock options, but that's only good if the company does well. Very disorganized. In my time here, I have seen 4 directors in my department come and go in a span of about 1 year. There are a lot of promises, but no follow-through. Favoritism all across the board. People get promoted, but there's no formal review of performance, so the ones who do are obviously hand-picked. Leaders are micromanagers but are not getting anything done, these people just don't know how to prioritize. Very LOW morale, people are unhappy and are just here for the paycheck. Bad attitude all around. People are sneaky and they retaliate. BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! Take care of your people and don't play favorites. Manager should follow through and not just give false promises. Don't be a scatterbrain.
