Pros
Sight seeing
Overall easy-going as long as you complete your daily installations
To yourself; No manager on duty, only a regional. No one is constantly looking over your shoulder.
Easy job if you know how to install tires.
Great pay for a tire technician
Cons
Management is irresponsible, and inconsistent.
Weather conditions. (E.x. in Texas it can get extremely hot, and you are working in a van with a small fan, or at time you will be working in the rain/sleet)
Unfair drive times in-between installations. (Sometimes the drive can be an hour twenty minutes from one job site to the next. So you end up having a longer work day)
Constant change with your everyday work procedures.
Job can randomly relocate , and expect you to make the commute without consideration of technician.
Customer first mentality, Managers will take the customers word over yours.
Incoherent customers at times.
Co workers can make your job easier or extremely more difficult. My own experience with my co worker was terrible, it seems as if they will hire anyone despite their background.
Terrible communication through the whole establishment.
A lot of issues that could be prevented but unfairly falls onto the technician.
