Pros

"Fringe benefits" such as company car for personal use, good variety of benefits (although health sucks because they are self insured = moderately priced but completely under-serviced...considering they self pay all preventative and "regular" medical expenses, they have extra motivation to find ways to not pay claims, or at least pass as much of the bill your way as possible. Plans look good at first but beware. The majority of corporate and store team members truly are good people, with good morals and well developed work ethics.

Cons

As a corporation, they bit off more than they could ever chew, much-less digest by their most recent acquisitions which has all but completely destroyed their name in the market- particularly on the commercial or DFIM front. CQ had built a solid name in the commercial world and despite all the financial problems had managed to hold onto at least the confidence of accounts in the knowledge and brand of CQ, at least until the acquisition. Sadly, once AAP took over the corporate CQ stores have done absolutely nothing but destroy their commercial business one step at a time. You cannot bust into new markets, make significant changes that impact local accounts, and expect all to be well. If it were not for their acquisition of World Pac as part of the GPI buyout, they would be totally screwed.
