You will need to learn all aspects of the job over time. The workload can fluctuate significantly, from manageable to extremely demanding. If a team member is absent or resigns, you will be expected to work long hours until a replacement is found or the situation is resolved. There's a constant amount of work to be done, which makes the days fly by.

The interview process was easy and moved very quickly. It started with a phone interview, then a meeting. After that, there was a phone interview with the LP Manager, and the final interview was a phone interview with the RVP. I received an offer within a week of applying. The subsequent training wasn't as helpful as I had hoped.

There were 4 interviews total. First was a Recruiter Interview, then an Area Director Interview, then an HR Interview, and finally a Regional Manager Interview. Three of these were phone calls, and one was in person at the Pep Boys. All the questions asked were pretty similar. Seems like a great company to work for.
