Business outlook
Pros
Working in the automotive field is not gravy by any measure. There is a lot asked from the technician, and a lot of responsibility placed on his shoulders. Volkswagen, pays slightly more than other brands, and the continuity between dealerships is pretty good. Just be ready for a lot of feast or famine scenarios.
Cons
The cons are most definitely the famine months of the winter. Industry slows down, people drive less, and you get fewer cars in for repairs. The dealership does nothing to mitigate this famine for the technician, because you are flat-rate.
