San Diego, CA (US)

Former Employee – worked at Jiffy Lube part-time for more than a year

ProsFun, fast-paced working environment. As long as your team knows what they are doing the day goes by fast and can be fun. No experience needed to start out here, I started in high school and got 2 years of customer service experience out of it- learned a lot about car maintenance also.

ConsThe district manager I had didn't motivate, just said we better make the goals. The manager was excellent he knew exactly what needed to be done and could manage problems effectively. Wouldn't expect to grow much within the company- good job for high school - college. If you stay long enough you can get promoted but it won't be too exciting.

Advice to Senior ManagementFind your stars and bring them to management. Be innovative don't just follow the numerous other quick-lube shops.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Spanish Fork, UT (US)

Current Employee – been working at Jiffy Lube part-time for less than a year

ProsGood standardized training program. Good health insurance for mgmt

ConsTreat you like garbage. Even store managers get treated like they are nothing and can be replaced within the hour.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat them as if you respect them. It has been proven if your team is behind you sales are greater than if they are only doing the job out of fear.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Conroe, TX (US)

Former Employee – worked at Jiffy Lube full-time for less than a year

ProsLearning environment, if you choose to learn as much as you can.

ConsQuality of management.

Was hired full-time, but only got 30 hours most, then dropped to 20 and then before i quit was getting 12.

Advice to Senior ManagementIf you promise somebody full-time work, don't turn around and work them 20 or less hours a week. You're lucky i didn't sue your ass for that Allied Lube. (Franchise owner of Jiffy Lube in the area)

North Charleston, SC (US)

Current Employee – been working at Jiffy Lube full-time for less than a year

ProsProfit sharing for mgmt, depending on store size and volume. Coworkers are good people. Some customers are very nice people, and you feel like you make long time friends.

ConsOther customers are downright nasty. they have no idea how to treat people, and are extraordinarily rude. If you make any attempts to call them out, and just try to have them treat you like another member of the same planet, upper management finds out, and reacts before finding out all of the story. In this way, it is kind of a joke.

Other than this, for the technician level staff, theres no incentive to do well, other than keeping your job.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe PROACTIVE rather than reactive. Either find a better way to pay your technicians, or incentivize them in some way.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
