Genuine Parts Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Genuine Parts

Pros – Benefits are good; most of the people are really great; pay is OK; company seems to be moving in the right direction, but slowly

Cons – Employees need to feel appreciated; for most people, a job is a means to an end....not the end all, be all of life! The pay is OK until you realize some of the ridiculous salaries of the upper management; the good-old-boy network is alive and well at GPC

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the people who actually do the work
