Pros

Self managed people will do well in this position if a base pay and company vehicle are all you want.

Cons

High turn over at in store sales positions and no bench of general managers to take place of failing managers. Not exactly a Sales position for people who want to make real money.

Pros

Support and training provided is more intensive than similar companies. Plenty of opportunities for promotion, if willing to relocate. Full time employees receive nice benefits and insurance.

Cons

Number of hours each store is allotted is recalculated weekly, with no specific days of the week set as "days off" for individual Team Members, thereby making the planning of outside activities difficult. Though each store creates its schedule for the upcoming week, no later than Wednesday of the current week, employees desiring specific time(s) off must request no later than two weeks in advance.

Pros

Company is the leading supplier of after auto parts in North America. Also a public company who is stable and treats their employees fairly.

Cons

The company limits their compensation provided to Parts Pros (counter help). This makes it difficult at times to keep good people. In some situations it also makes us less competitive and has a direct effect on our bonus. This is suppose to be a simple business...take care of customers, get them their parts and deliver them in a timely, clearly communicated manner.
