      Pros

      Good and experienced people plus the 20% parts discount. You also meet and know some mechanics so you know where to take your car to. A good place to work if you're retired or a college student.

      Cons

      Lack of advancement and the pay could be better, it is close to poverty level. Also, we need more team member communication. Managers work 45 to 50 hours a week. It would be hard to plan a career here. Many times, I don't get lunch.

      Be cautious. Work / Life balance is all work and not worth the pay. You will work 60+ hours per week.

      Pros

      Positive customer interaction Team environment within the store Benefits are adequate The company offers quaity name brand parts at good prices Company has a no hassle return policy

      Cons

      Micro Managed Too many new programs at one time with little to do with selling auto parts. No internal promotions to District Manager in a very large region in over 2 years. General Managers are told they work 50 hours with 2 days off (Sunday and Wendesday) but there is something almost every week that requires GM's to work Sundays. True average work week is 60+ hours. Company focused on being different not doing what will really increase sales. Stores not given enough payroll to effectively execute all the companies initiatives and take care of the customers.
