Pros

BFS Retail is a large company with many advancement opportunities. Everyone must work in retail operations prior to advancing into higher level positions, which gives a level starting playing field.

Cons

As with all large corporations advancement is not based on acheivement and work ethic you are faced with the politics found in most companies of this size.

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
