From Wikipedia

Founded by Earl Scheib (1908-1992) in Los Angeles in 1937 the company grew quickly following World War II and by 1975 had branches in Germany and England, all company owned, with Scheib manufacturing his own paint. Scheib's policy of one-day service and production line techniques flew directly into the face of state-of-the-art professional auto body standards and caused the company to become a national joke.

Scheib has been plagued with a high employee turnover rate due to the demands of attempting to paint up to five cars a day. The company's main criteria in hiring and promoting management trainees is based on sales skills only. Knowledge of auto body repair or painting techniques is not required. Trainees undergo a short training period and are then assigned to their own shops. Any Manager who fails to increase sales for three successive months is fired, regardless of seniority. Due to these high pressure sales demands, most talented trainees quickly move on to other more progressive organizations. auto body, painting and prep personel are represented by Teamsters Unions.
