      I have worked at AAP for 6 years

      Pros

      - Great flexibility on scheduling. They helped me get through college with very flexible scheduling. And now that I am "full-time" I enjoy it more. - Decent hours. - Daily tasks are quite simple and become very easy after a few reps. - Good ground-level leadership. - They give you the ability to serve commercial customers (and DIYers) by allowing TMs to special order ANYTHING from anywhere that is requested. (Heard of a commercial customer that forgot to buy his wife flowers and didn't have time to pick them up, so the store took care of it.) Customer satisfaction really does come first with this company.

      Cons

      - Poor pay. 6 years and I am still under $10/hr. - I have spent all year pushing for a promotion of some kind, but its difficult with AAP. - Management at the district level is below-average. - Very poor computer system. Nothing but problems. - Need a serious upgrade on the parts catalog.

      I sure do miss the Taubmans...

      Pros

      Job security for those willing to stick it out. Much potential for AAP to return to a fun place to work with the new President. Compensation good for top GMs and CPPs.

      Cons

      Growth has been slow and company direction has been erratic under the last few CEOs. AZ and ORLY have expanded at a much hirer rate, while growing sales. AAP has been so focused on the actions of store teams, it has ignored and missed several opportunities to actually get the right merchandise in it's stores.
