Mike Melton breaks down Discount Tire's pay structure: entry-level workers make $14-$16 an hour, crew chiefs $19-$25, and store managers $60,000-$103,000. He calls these wages inadequate and warns the company will lose workers to competitors if it doesn't raise them.
Discount Tire pays dog shit. In some markets they start you out about $14 an hour, some markets $16, depends on the market, right? Depends on where it's at. Your crew chief and lead gets paid about between $19 to $25, also depending on the area. Now that crew chief has been there for a minute. He ain't been there for 2 weeks. This guy's been there for several years. Now a damn store manager, listen, a store manager, makes anywhere from $60,000 to $103,000 plus a little bit of bonuses. Let me tell you something, that is dog shit. Discount Tire, you better do better because if not, you're gonna have people like me and other companies take very good people from you.
