Long days, Long hours
Apprentice Technician (Former Employee), Shoreline, WA – May 16, 2013
Pros: very active, lots of socialization, and good pay
Cons: long days, lower employees often unheard, and no breaks unless you're a smoker
Working at Discount Tire had it's benefits. The people there were very fun to work with and interacting with the customers was often very satisfying. I was given a pay raise very quickly for my hard work but hit a dead end eventually as promotions and pay raises inside the company were slowing down, due to high employee traffic. My manager could at – more... times be very incompetent, but other times he was a great guy and easy to get along with. That's pretty much management anywhere though. Usually work days were very long, ranging from 11-13 hours. If you were there to open you were there to close. I learned a lot of valuable skills and lessons while I worked there though, skills that I wouldn't be able to learn anywhere else, and I left on my own terms to where my manager said he would take me back any day if I ever decided to come back. – less

Great experience.
Service Coordinator (Current Employee), Spring, TX – May 14, 2013
Very busy, Learned a lot in dealing with customers in different ways. Management was good. Co workers were always great to work with, everyone got along great. The most enjoyable part of my job was the fact that you can earn raises if you actually work hard and push yourself and motivate others. Very easy to move up in the company.

Working at discount tire was great i learned tons of things, from the changing of a tire to how to greet customers on the sales floor to how to operate their computers, the reason i left was because i did not get the hours i needed to pay the bills.

Hostile
Salesman/Cashier (Former Employee), Muskogee, OK – February 23, 2013
Cons: everything
Constant harassment and abuse. No assistance in learning your job and daily duties. Management is both corrupt and unprofessional. Was let go for personal beliefs that the American Flag does not belong in the trash can. Was later physical harassed by boss over beliefs.

Fast past and hard working atmosphere
Inventory Specialist/Service Tech (Current Employee), DeSoto, TX – February 7, 2013
Cons: short breaks, hours vary from week to week
A typical day starts with making sure the store is set up for efficient workflow and from the time your scheduled to work to the time you get off your busting your tail to make sure customers get in and out in a timely manner. Management is awesome at my store, my boss is a great manager and a terrific example of what a manager should be. My co-workers – more... are a bunch of cool guys who love to have a fun and crack jokes all say to make the day go by faster. The hardest part of the job is changing more than 4 tires on a single vehicle. For example, a big truck or a trailer. The most enjoyable part of the job is listening to some good music while we work. It keeps us upbeat and moving. – less
