Pros

Advance Auto parts is a great place to meet people and create connections. Part time employees are great to work with.

Cons

The management style is terrible not only in this store but from the corporate level as well. General and Assistant Managers aren't always the best people for the job and have done more kissing of the behind then anything else. The computer system is downright terrible. Pay is subpar. The discount they give you is the same discount they give online customers. They expect you to sell additional items with little to no incentive. Overall a terrible and greedy company.

Pros

Good people to work with, good benifints, and its easy to get promoted untill you get to store manager if your willing to change stores.

Cons

It seems they no longer care about employees like they used to. Its turning into a burn em and turn em mind set. Scheduling flexability is all but gone. Its designed so that store managers pay the ultimate price. No one gets overtime so call offs or extra time needed for tasks the gm has to cover. They have become sooo focused on reports and action plans instead of just taking care of customers. They want you to offer price matching but rake you over the coals when you do. The list goes on. The store manager position is the worst in the company. And now capping them at $42,000 its just not worth it. Commercial pros best position retail pros not bad.
