Pros

Store managers have a lot of leadway with most of the district managers, you get paid well if your store performs well. Benefits are decent, and they don't have layoffs.

Cons

District and Regional managers only care if they look good despite saying the most important part of the company is our employees. They will bail on you in a heartbeat when it is most important, no loyality or true compassion for their store managers. You have little personal time. The company is too big now and it's all about HR covering themslelves, can't loose a penny of profit just because an employee has burned out, overworked themselves, or had the company first for years and years. Can't wait to kick you to the curb when you are taken out of the position to make them shine. Discriminate against age and decreased physical aility,younger, single managers promoted to DM, they are forced to becom fakes and backstabers to further themselves or keep their spot. Small company atmosphere is dead.

Pros

Great company. Great management. Flexible schedule. Competitive pay. Great advancement opportunities as long as you work it. Friendly customers and great coworkers.

Cons

Interviews and getting hired on usually take a while because it goes through so many people up the line. Most companies the store manager can hire and/or fire someone but this company it all goes through several people

Pros

The catalog system is easy to use and technology wise they are pretty up to date, very simple and convenient

Cons

The hours suck, the pay sucks. The company only cares about profit it’s no different from autozone, they are able to sell parts for less compared to Napa because they pay the employees barely above minimum, they don’t like giving raises no matter how hard your work you have to basically be a store manager or higher to get a good pay. They open more stores to make more profit and keep employees at the bare minimum. It sucks working there I think if your ISS, which is wholesale, you can make decent money with that because they give a bigger bonus from the amount of sales you make plus less responsibility and better hours but thats if a position opens up and you’ll probably be there 4 plus years until you can get that position unless you’re lucky and one opens up in the area.
