I think it's pretty obvious pro or not, what matters most is cleanliness and attention to detail as well as taking your time and doing things right.
A busy shop environment, rushing to get it done because you only get paid X hrs per job (flat rate mechanics), working on several cars at the same time, switching between, answering customer phone calls, talking to walk in customers, starting and stopping etc etc. are distractions that can lead to mistakes.
IMO it's important to avoid distractions and focus on the job at hand, and have attention to detail, that is something most shops are not good at doing PERIOD.

Why stop there, isn't it cutting corners if you don't take the motor out and turn it over on an engine stand so you can have even more access?
