Pros

As a tire tech its usually pretty busy so the days go by pretty fast. If you're not busy on a car theres tires to be put away or sent back to the vendors. 30 minute lunch break off the clock and a couple of 15 minute paid breaks for a full 8 hour shift. You get to work with all sorts of cool and interesting people. The super cheap plus membership is a bonus too. You get a quarterly bonus, $150 for part-time and $300 for full-time. You even get a discount on fresh and prepared foods.

Cons

Management at some clubs is just terrible. They dont care about you as an individual even if what your doing is against OSHA and extremely unsafe. Working in the tire shop you're supposed to have at least 2 people present at all times. There have been multiple times where I personally was left alone in the shop with cars to work on. Club manager kept telling me "I dont want you working on cars by yourself." Yet did absolutely nothing to stop me even though she knew it was going on cause I was the only working tire tech for a month. And only 1 of 2 for over half the same year. At this particular club managment only cared about themselves and any brown nosers that catered to their every whim.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
