Pros

Salary and overtime are fantastic. You can write your own paycheck here and make as much or as little as you like. You can shift swap so with a 12hr rotation you can get up to 7 day stretches off without using vacation time. Benefits are pretty fantastic with a low contribution out of my paycheck and a super low deductible.

Cons

Lots of animosity between the union and the company makes for a sometimes hostil environment. Also, certain areas of the plant can be quite filthy and not temperature controlled so be prepared. Thankfully they pay $2/hr more for those areas because of it.

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.
