      Advance Auto is helping to destroy the auto parts buisness.

      Pros

      I'm a Do It Yourself person all the way, this business is about saving money by doing it yourself. Increase your knowledge of auto systems.... Highschool/college student. Discount

      Cons

      Compensation is minimal at best. Employees are numbers, and will not go anywhere, so just don't plan on it. The reason things are free is because the employees make it free. Advance will continue to develop systems to justify denials in advancement. Its not about stocking quality parts, they are driving the DIY customer away with chinese parts and by investing their attention on useless things like: -Free commercial deliveries -Free instalations ( not compensating employees for these services ) -Rediculous and redundant stocking technics -Rebates -Funny is good, but the comercials are misleading The sales staff need to be paid and treated as profesionals not theives

      The company is going to great places.

      Pros

      Tons of opportunities to Advance if you want to move up. Company is changing for the good and many people will not change so positions will open up.

      Cons

      The only down side is some of the customers come in expecting is to work on their cars for free, we are not a shop we are a retail store. If u don't know how to fix it yourself maybe you shouldn't try it.
