Pros

The guys in the shop are great group of guys to work and weekends off which is rare in the industry.

Cons

Where do I begin: -Excessively long hours (55-60 hours a week if not more) -Good luck trying to take a lunch if you are an Advisor. -Be ready to be micro managed in everything you do. -Be ready to go to meeting twice a month where you will be there until 9pm even when you been there since 6:45am -The owner is only looking for "Yes Men" and no one with an opinion. - He wants someone that is willing to be stuck in the same job their whole life and be happy with it. -Even when you are on time you are late. -Was told hours are 7-6 but what that really means is 6:30 until 7:30 and that is regular days.

Star Auto Authority Response
10y
We like to hire nice, intelligent, career oriented people that get things done, and unfortunately the reviewer simply didn’t fit the bill and was terminated. Our managers are conscientious and do work hard, but the reviewer is exaggerating as to the number of hours worked and the reviewer failed to point out that we also allow flexible scheduling for our managers. While we do have evening staff meetings (entire crew) once per month, as well as one evening manager’s meeting once per month, we do so because we believe that it is important that all managers and staff are kept informed and have a chance to provide input in the direction of the company. Unfortunately, in our business, such meetings can only be held on off hours, and, as the reviewer indicated we rarely work any time on weekends. We wish the reviewer best of luck in his future endeavors.

Pros

Opportunities for advancement to management. The company sets the standard for employers in the automotive service industry. Above average pay and benefits and a Monday through Friday work week. Monthly meetings allow every employee to have a voice. Fast paced and a progressive attitude makes for a positive work environment. The owner is onsite and involved in daily operations.

Cons

The days can be long in the service industry but the mandatory flex time off provides a nice break.

Pros

- Friendly and knowledgeable co-workers. - The owner treats you as an actual person versus just a number like most other employers do. - Your skill set is valued. - Opinions are heard and not just brushed off. - Willing to be open and honest about the business and not keep you in the dark.

Cons

I can honestly say I don't have a Con for Star Auto Authority. Coming from a previous work environment where there was a high level of stress, lack of consideration for personal life/time, and lack of leadership and time management skills from management, Star Auto Authority has been a much needed change of pace.
