Tire Builder/Saftey Leader/ Shift Trainer
NG Tire Builder (Current Employee), Topeka, KS – November 14, 2012
Pros: discount on tires/ great health insurance
Cons: short breaks
I have a quota to meet on a daily basis. I teach new employees how to do the job. I fill out paperwork if there are any unsafe acts or unsafe equiptment that we are using.
The hardest part of my job is it is very physical and manual labor so you must keep yourself in a good condition.
I enjoy working with my coworkers and being the first person to meet – more... any new employees. – less

Company that has no direction.
Service Manager (Former Employee), Metairie, LA – October 30, 2012
Pros: 40 hour work week
Cons: to many to list
A typical day for me consisted of running everything with the mechanics and shop. Ordering parts and maintaining the inventory to make sure we had what was needed for the task at hand. Management was severly lacking and has an "Old way" of doing business. Customer care and honesty was not in high regards with this company. Lack of training was another – more... problem. I enjoyed being able to help customers and finiding the best solution for their needs. – less

Will keep your head spinning!
Service Manager & Store Manager (Current Employee), Austin, TX – October 22, 2012
Pros: umm...well, they make a few decent tires.
Cons: micro-management, broken promises, it's always your fault, health benefits, etc..
This company WAS, years ago a good place to work with high hopes for upward mobility and bettering one's self while helping the company at the same time. Now, the benefits are terrible (as in the health benefits are very expensive and prescription coverage is a joke!), you won't want to advance in this company, you will be promised hours to work and – more... have them stripped away and probably the worst of it being that they take a simple job/career and make it so complicated that you'll nearly hate doing it by the time you're done! – less
