Bicycle Mechanic Reviews

What is it like working as a Bicycle Mechanic?

Overworked, underpaid.

June 2020
Can be great.
Bicycle Mechanic in Perth:
Pros: Un-capped commision
Cons: Sales Consultants are valued much more highly than Mechanics and are paid more through commission as there is a lot more GP in selling a bike than in fixing a bike when you compare how much time each of those processes take. The recent pandemic has sky rocketed bike sales and put all staff members under a lot of pressure, however Sales staff have been making extortionate amounts of money (some up to 100% more) on commission whereas mechanics, despite also being under more pressure are not making any more than when there wasn't a pandemic. I find this extremely un justified and make's me feel very under valued. With pay aside, the company only focuses on how to improve sales and who the top sales people are and has daily/weekly updates on sales orientated information. There is no focus on anything mechanic related which gives you the impression your role isn't of any value to the company. I find this frustrating as good mechanics are hard to come by and it is by far a lot harder to recruit and train mechanics than it is to find and train sales staff.
