Pros

Southeastern Automotive was a great family owned business, at one time. The owner would do anything to help the employees as long as you "handled business" in a way that was fair, truly having the customers best interest in mind, but also, fair for Southeastern. The owner still tries to be the way he used to be, he's just very limited now.

Cons

Southeastern Automotive sold controlling interest to Napa. Napa really messed poor old Southeastern Automotive up. At the end of the day, you have to remember, Napa wants to sell Napa to individual owned companies. If they do, your not their competition anymore. Napa doesn't care about their new owners or the new employees. The Napa reps really messed up the new store. They screwed the old napa owner out of his market and then thought they could copy his inventory and create a new store.Ha Ha the old napa owner got you.

Pros

At the time of writing, I have worked for Napa for 9 years. I can say with a great deal of experience that the fellow employees will make your day. Easy people to work with all around. Something about the shared struggle of working for NAPA will really bring a group of folks together. Customers who come into a NAPA come for a reason. I find this to be a much different experience from other auto parts stores. Customers know what they are talking about, and that makes the job all the easier. Hours are consistent almost to a fault, but you will ceratily get at least your 40 hours.

Cons

When I first started with NAPA, they genuinely cared about their employees(gift cards on bday, anniversary lunch, anniversary gift, holiday bonuses, company-wide holiday parties). That is all gone. All management you will have personal contact with has ZERO authority to do ANYTHING. Do not expect a merit-based raise, or even a yearly raise(no raises in 2 years despite $2.3B in net profit for 2025). It seems to take an act of god to fire employees who literally do not do their job. DO NOT CLIMB THE LADDER. The higher you get in this company, the more you will regret it.
