Pros

Paid for services performed weekly. Poor health benefits offered right away. Good emp. price on bridgestone or firestone tires.

Cons

Long pointless applicant screening process. Soon after higher, required out of state training that they will royally screw everything up from flight plans to group rental car. Costing you hours of waiting and non-communication at the corporate level. Will not be paid for training, travel or hold and wait time. You will be roped in with a signing bonus that will "Never" materialize. Even after 4-5 month not cleared. The near mentally handicapped oil service guy is paid more than trained tech's because he's hourly. You rely on sub-standard parts to repair vehicles from retailers no educated tech. buys from. You will be offered health care package that charges a weekly premium out of your check if you smoke or use tobacco products. So much so, you dare not sign up for coverage. cheaper to pay cash at the E.R.. Some locations are very old like mine, and need updating and tools severely. With issues arising, you soon find your regionals do not want to be bothered with your store. And will certainly make that your issue if there's a complaint or help needed. Mandatory actions to be taken on every service that halts your from doing your flag work to assist in the work of other hourly's jobs. If you are injured on the job. You have to call a hotline that asks stupid medical questions, so they can give you the go-ahead to seek medical treatment. Long days with small pays. kiss your kid in the morning extra. Because your kissing them good night too.

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
