you can make it work, but it's very frustrating. Not a well designed company by any means. - Customer Service Advisor Pep Boys Employee Review

Pros

I liked the fact that they are going to a on commission structure, where it pays the lowest people more money. Before that it was like working for a fast food place or something, same pay. Usually resolved problems to customer's satisfaction... but what company wouldn't. U do learn a lot about cars and proper car maintenance.

Cons

Constantly changing rules, which are not explained fully at any point, hugely political management, u have to kiss the right ass for the proper amount of time before u get a chance to advance... honestly idk how they stay in business. Do not trust anything that management says, or take it with a grain of salt, they will screw u over if it is to their benefit.

Pros

Through my career I have learned a lot on the automotive industry.

Cons

Corporate found a way to cut payroll by approximately $1k monthly to former assistant managers by eliminating the overtime associated with the position and eliminating the position , renamed it and lowered the hourly rate and put them under " commission ". Results...many guys looking for a new job cause with cost of living constantly increasing pay went down drastically plus most stores are understaffed but corporate keeps pushing for productivity, really bad work environment.
