Pros

* Great position to learn leadership skills, communication skills, customer service satisfaction skills, and retail store management skills. * Gain an intermediate to advanced education about automotive parts and systems for free through Autozone's Parts and Systems Knowledge Training. * Benefits other than health insurance with dental and vision plans are provided, such as discounts on electronics, restaurants, hotels, and a great gym membership deal. * Room for vertical movement within the company faster than most other companies.

Cons

* Starting pay could definitely be higher. * Most supervisors don't know how to properly train new employees. * Lack of a team-oriented work environment. * Younger employees (Gen Z) lack Autozone's core value, which is to treat EVERYONE with dignity and respect.

Pros

AutoZone is an awesome place to work. They have given me a chance that I would not otherwise have. I am a disabled worker. My store manager hired me and later found out but that did not stop his decision to keep me on as his PSM. I have overcome so much. If you are looking for a place of acceptance and a good place to learn new skills. This is it. I have thrived here more than I thought I would have. I didn't know a thing about automotive industry but I have learned more in the last 9 months than I could have thought possible. I just passed my parts expert test, and I plan on keeping learning more under my store manager's wing.

Cons

None. You just need a little patience. Whatever this company lacks, it comes in growth and time with the individual and maturity. Pay raise, PTO, all that comes soon enough, you just have to have a little patience. AutoZone has great benefits. and is worth the wait.
