Pros

Enjoyed my time with Pep Boys and the people that work there. Was my first retail job and gave me all the tools i needed to succeed as a sales associate. Very easy job and a lot of downtime.

Cons

Management needs improvement. Regional Director and Store Manager clueless at times what is going on in the stores. Most of the time was spent in the back room doing paper work or conference calls. Avoided confrontation with employees most of the time. Worked when Gores Group decided to merge with company but they decided to back out because of the financial issues with the company.

Pros

Through my career I have learned a lot on the automotive industry.

Cons

Corporate found a way to cut payroll by approximately $1k monthly to former assistant managers by eliminating the overtime associated with the position and eliminating the position , renamed it and lowered the hourly rate and put them under " commission ". Results...many guys looking for a new job cause with cost of living constantly increasing pay went down drastically plus most stores are understaffed but corporate keeps pushing for productivity, really bad work environment.
