Pros

Very forgiving atmosphere for a technician starting out. Many good techs willing to share knowledge and shape you to be a better tech. Old school Vacation Time, 2 weeks first year (at least when I was there) and 3 weeks in your second year. Also, good experience to gain on fleet services and decent training opportunities if you chase it. Good facility, well planned out, decent shop equipment.

Cons

Low pay. Out-dated work billing time - 45 minutes for wheel end (it can be done, but most shops have that listed as 4.5 hours and to do it right and to clean the areas thoroughly it takes about an hour). Promotion plan is unrealistic - those training packets are a good idea, but getting time to do them is next to impossible as it requires scheduling time when you are off and getting the time of a foreman to observe and sign off when they have other duties that take priority in the shop. Parking is terrible. No overtime even when you are clocking overtime - you can work overtime but it will be billed as straight time.

Pros

There aren't any pros besides them lying to you making you feel like you're the liar...

Cons

They make you feel like a liar with a false positive hair follicle test then they cut you off and don't even return any of your calls or give you a chance to prove yourself. The recruiter was really my friend until those results came in and then every time I got to try to talk to him to prove that they were wrong never even returned my call or answer the email
