Pros
Meineke locations are great for learning entry level basics for car maintenance, or providing basic experience in management and sales. The owner is, when available, communicative and supportive. Management in general is supportive of technicians furthering education and providing a relatively low-stress environment that can genuinely culture aspiring competent technicians for the future.
Cons
Poor management by supervisors is the biggest issue. With no formal training requirement or support, every manager can vary from hot-tempered to lazy and borderline incompetent. Upper management provides no resources for management education, and provides no avenues for conflict resolution. Training wouldn't be as much of an issue as the ideal candidate for a management position will stay there for 2-3 years to cultivate a customer base, but turnover rate is relatively high.
