Pros

Easy to get suckered in . If you die as a mechanic pep boys life insurance pays a year of min wage.

Cons

Hard to get out, really you will work yourself broke here and might have to sell your box of tools or ditch them because you will not afford to rent a truck and move them. Terrible management. Do not I repeat do not supply your tools they will get stolen and left around the shop. Plus this company is required to pay you 20 an hour as a mechanic if you supply tools. They argue that they supply tools one set for 6-8 mechanics, yet it will also be missing all the tools. These unholy crooks steal from customers who are uneducated and steal you soul as a mechanic.
