Pros

working with what I'm good at and products i know well. Trips to other states for training are nice and educational.

Cons

Upper Management are only concerned about their pay and reminding everyone of their weight and truly do not care about employees. Disrespected everyday by people here that have a very BIG ego and make a person aware of your place daily until problems occur then "im" in charge and at fault. The General Manager and District Manager are blind to actuality and make everyone working here constantly walking on glass,depressed, and feeling used! I have GREAT ideas to improve profits and traffic based from firsthand knowledge but due to Upper management's disconnect from customers and its not "their" ideas, Mine are never implemented or even heard.

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.
