Pros

The Brake Parts Inc. employees and what we have build over the years are the only pro left of what is Brake Parts. We have not been BPI since July 2020. Any previous review posted between 7/2020 to current that presents this as a positive career is false, 200%. If we were still owned and operated under a private equity firm and David Overbeeke, I would tell you that this would be the ultimate place to work. I thought I was going to retire working for this company and with the people I have grown to love as family these passed years. This is NOT Brake Parts, this is First Brands Group. Google it, and the owner Patrick James. STAY AWAY AND NEVER APPY.

Cons

You will never know what your employment status will be. You will have false promises presented to you, zero company contributions to 401K, zero company contributions to HSA, NO RAISES. You will be responsible for taking on all of the work of employees who have been let go, or who have quit without compensation, training, or direction. Any reviews provided that appear to be positive between 7/2020-current are fabricated and untrue. Reach out to ANY past employee who was employed when FBG took over. The absolute worst company to work for, does not, and will not ever care about, or put their employees first.

New owners are terrible

Pros

Colleagues are some of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. Also an amazing work out room.

Cons

New owners as of beginning of August 2020. They didn’t even bother to send out a “welcome to the new company email”, no introduction, nothing. But they were fast to slash all company contributions to employee 401k. This is turning into a turd real fast.

One Direction - Down

Pros

Compensation package was enough to keep me just interested enough to stick around for as long as I did. Good salary plus bonus and a reasonable commute, is about as much as I should have expected to get from this company.

Cons

Everything else about this company could be considered a "con".. I am including senior management on this "con" category as well. Protect your self, and crap on everyone else. That is the key to being successful at this BPI.
