Advance Auto Parts reviews

The rest of the company was backwards and had limited vision.

- While 20% discounts are great, there are plenty of online coupon codes that grant you higher discounts. - There is rarely room for advancement without moving. I literally can not move above my position of Keyholder without someone above me dying, leaving, or also being promoted (and they have the same obstacle to overcome). - I make $8.20 an hour. When I started as a part time delivery driver, I made $8. The "promotion" to Keyholder granted no raise. It was simple an advancement in responsibility. I now do the job of everyone below the highest in store management, and make the least amount in my store of 6. - Raises are based on the stores sales as a whole. I am the only person in my store to hit his/her sales goal for the year, and I beat it by a pretty big margin. I still do not get a raise because our commercial sales were so low, it dragged the entire store down. - On top of not being found worthy of even a .25c raise, people who start at my store in part time zombie positions usually make close to a dollar more than I do. My upper management tells me he has no control over starting wages, or my wage. Mhmm, sure. - It is a corporation. You are simple a number to them. Sales are simply a number to them. You generally will not feel respected. - Even if/when you hit your sales goal for the year, your upper level managers will both tell you that you still need to try harder. You need to sell more "premium" products and engage with the customers more. It does not matter if people come in specifically for you and your advice, try harder. Oh, and don't forget, no raise either. But try harder.
