first real job
vehicle maintenance technician (Former Employee), Bel Air, MD – March 26, 2013
Pros: i learned a lot, great people and benifits
Cons: hot summer cold winter not always guaranteed hours
I learned a lot about cars and the safety standards such as OSHA. My daily duties were to sell the recommended preventative maintenance services based on mileage and manufacture recommendations. I also performed these services as well as ringing out the customer. I learned a lot about managing opening and closing the store. the hardest part was just – more... dealing with the heat in the summer time. the most enjoyable part was educating the customer about what is recommended and how often to service their vehicles. – less

Jiffy Lube Summary
Hood Technician (Former Employee), Tulsa, OK – March 24, 2013
A tipiacal day at Jiffy Lube was fairly easy and not really that hard to keep up with. I learned how to vacume cars, Wash windows, Air up the tires to the right specs, Change oil, Check air filtration units, Turn off oil lights, Use the ESM, And clean the shop. The management was fairly careing and understanding, easy to get allong with. My co-workers – more... were really nice and easy to get allong with, Some were lazy and some were harder workers then others. The hardest part of the job was cleaning the pit area at night. And the most enjoyable part of the job was talking to the customers abut their cars, and listening to them tell crazy stories about life. – less

steady work environment, great co-workers
Manager In Training (Former Employee), Fort Wayne, IN – March 18, 2013
Pros: discount on personal vehicle maintenance
Cons: short breaks or no breaks, little home time, low wages
The typical day would be to open the store and sit in on the morning rally! After the morning rally, we would wait on our first guest and work on the cars till the end of the business day! The hardest part of the job was putting in more hours than I would be with my family, and the constant rush rush rush to get a car complete!

Repetative and unsaitsfying work environment
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Glendale, AZ – March 17, 2013
Pros: a paycheck
Cons: poor management, dull work environment
Management was very dull and seemed to have a "holier than thou" attitude towards the employees and customers. The employees worked well together. Typically management seemed to be upset and talked down to the staff which made for a very difficult and long work day. I was not happy working for Jiffy Lube at any part of my employment.

Got our job done while talking the whole time
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Lemont, IL – March 16, 2013
Pros: bonus sometimes, free lunches when we met goals.
Cons: didnt recieve my benefitts after a year due to improper paper work.
A typical day starts out with finding out your position for the day. Either be curiosity tech. who vacuums and wipes windows all day.Hood tech. who would pull filters, check/ fill fluid levels, and check tires. Bay tech. perform the oil change and change the oil filter. CSA- customer service adviser, that sold products and informed guests of what they – more... are due for. I learned that a lot of oil change places are scam artist. The hardest part of my job was not lieing to customers on what they were due for because we'd have our district mangers calling every few hours asking us for better sales and better ticket average. They'd rather us lie to customers to get money than tell them the truth. Most enjoyable part of the work day was working with friends and talking the whole time. Hearing all the customers stories and having regular people come by because they love the honest work we did there even though corporate didn't. – less

Customer Service Advisor/ Store Manager (Former Employee), Orange Park, FL – March 15, 2013
Pros: you can move up fast
Cons: they micro manage
South Lubes is the franchise of Jiffy Lube that I worked for. I'm not going to bash the company, but they need a lot of work restructuring the upper management of their company.

Was friendly fun environment
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Bellingham, WA – March 1, 2013
Pros: when we didn't have cars in we had a good time
Cons: they weren't flexable with me having to leave for my special needs child
A typical day at jiffy lube varied day to day. I learned to understand that it is really hard to be a women and work in a mans environment. It was hard to get the customers to understand that even though I am a women I knew my products and knew what I was talking about. It was nice when we made peoples day by just being able to put a smile on their – more... faces because I am a very friendly person. – less
