      -Good way to learn about cars and what actually breaks on them. -great pride among non-management employees -20% discount helps -scheduling is great when time off is needed -accepting of personal life problems

      Cons

      -Horrible acronyms. -worthless district management -one sided contest. i.e. sales on oil.winning store g.m. gets free steak lunch. winning store team gets free hat. -customer always right no matter how stupid they are -batteries and wipers plus other things have to be done to help customers because management thinks were paid mechanics - almost always short handed at night and weekends causing unwanted stress with customers -have to complete long list of closing duties every night while management watches and doesn't help

      Pros

      Depending on the department you work in, Advance can be a great place to work. Different managers manage different ways. Most understand that there is a life outside of work and encourage that.

      Cons

      Such a big company, sometimes it is hard to be able to move up the ladder. Seems to be that lately many jobs are going to outside workers than promoting from within.

      Pros

      Can be fun work environment. Learn a lot quickly and if tactful can move up the chain of command. Decent Place to work.

      Cons

      Some members of management should be demoted or removed. Pay is decent but not exactly paid per performance. Hours are early to late.
