Pep Boys
Ex employee

Being a former employee of the past year, i would like to let everyone know what really goes on

First of all, yes we were on a flag rate system, witch never worked to my advantage and you had to keep track of your work or you would be short changed.

Managers and some employees do get bonuses, and or spiffs (money for selling) and other added money for selling certain items or services, usually on a monthly basis.

You are NEVER paid overtime, exempt they say. I was never exempt before. Hence the lawsuit.

The pay differential between Managers and everyone else was very wide.

The employement hiring process was a revolving door, every few months or sooner, someone would get fired for somthing stupid, then a new person would come in. You see a dozen or more new hires in a year or less. The company does not pay well, correctly and at times, treats you like dung.

Does the company rip people off, well with the bonuses, spiffs and other money they pay for added repairs, you be the judge. I do know my manger made 3 or more times what i made and the district manager probably double the manager.

Having some business training, i could not figure out how this company: stayed in business as long as they have, keeps any personel with any intelligence, is able to sleep at night knowing they are cheating their employees and sells accesiories and motorized machines that are pure junk out of the box.

As one of my managers used to say, this is the end of the road for many people, as far as employees goes. Think of this when you visit, if you deside to take the chance.

Buy your spark plugs and oil here. Throw those rebate forms away. And do not ever have a major repair done here. You will be sorry.

I am not digruntled, just sad that they let me down in many ways and treated me poorly. How does that saying? You can not fly with eagles when your surrounded by turkeys.

If the company did not care about me or my paycheck, do you really think most of the people working their really care about your car? You be the judge.
