Pros

It is a fun placce to work if you are not sent up front to work the parts counter when you are a motocycle technician

Cons

I waas hired as a technician with a base wage plus commission, when the parts counter quit I was sent up to fill in, then told that I was now the new parts clerk. Then after about a month my boss cut my pay in half and I lost all my commission as well...without warning and for no known reason. The guy that owns the shop is a huge jerk who treats everyone like dirt and allows any and all harassment from the veterans.

Pros

Amazing work life balance. Working by yourself, perfect for the divergent people. Company van with gas paid for starting day 1 that you get to take home daily. Penny (owner) is amazing and the best boss.

Cons

Small company so health insurance is very pricy (125.00 per paycheck).

Pros

Boss fights to have solid employees, no poisonous attitudes, great pay and benefits, office staff is supportive and very good at what they do.

Cons

The only major one is that this is a “road life” job. It’s not for everyone, but it’s what I’ve done for nearly two decades so I am used to it.
