Pros

Speedco is a very lucrative chain of OTR lube and tire centers.

Cons

Misguided middle management, typical old school, boy's club mentality. Dallas store management team works HARD to maintain morale in an understaffed, tension filled work setting. General Manager and Asst managers put up with extreme one-sided policy versus sister store in Irving. The manager at that location seems to operate under a slightly different set of rules. He does not seem to have a structured management style or any accountability. There have been several alleged cases of sexual harassment, bigotry and a lack of basic safety concerns. Speedco sounds good on paper, but in Dallas it is operating with profit margins not staff well being in mind. Oh, btw, just ask the staff about the voluntary (read mandatory) survey they are "requested" to take every year. I use to report to work well paid and feeling like I worked for the mafia. I took a pay cut just to leave.

Pros

Speedco was a great place to gain hands-on experience and learn the basics of the diesel industry. The work provided valuable training for someone just starting out in the field, and I was able to build skills that helped me advance my career. The fast-paced environment allowed me to learn quickly and become more confident working on commercial vehicles.

Cons

The pay was lower than expected for the workload and responsibilities. Employee morale could be affected by management attitudes, and communication in the front office was sometimes less professional than it should have been. Better teamwork and employee support would improve the overall work environment.
