Pros

Got to use equipment to work on personal vehicles. There was a minimum pay guarantee to help protect against low pay when there was little or no work.

Cons

Race to the bottom culture in every way imaginable - My location went out of business as a result

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.
