      Pros

      The only good thing left is the chance to take a new employee from having no knowledge of retail or automotive systems and watching them transform into someone who can truly help our customers and drive sales.

      Cons

      We GM's are expected to do more and more with less and less. Now, on my very few full days off, I am expected to go to other locations and help underperforming stores clean up the messes that they have created through laziness and DM neglect.

      Pros

      Don't work here, they're are no Pros.

      Cons

      Horrible RVP's who consistently Micro-Manage, de-motivate and threaten DM's on a weekly basis. If you are a mindless robot, who will work 80 hours a week and not question anything, this is the place for you

      Great Job turning a good company into walmart

      Pros

      Advance has done a great job at diversifying its parts selection through the purchase of other brands. They actually do a great job at training and do offer a pretty comprehensive parts training package. The company does a good job at measuring metrics so as a store manager you always know exactly where you stand.

      Cons

      Over the past 3 years my store has been turned into walmart due to the number of labor hours that have been removed. Without giving exact numbers I would say the illustrious "CDL" labor model gave me a 20% haircut in hours. Most stores have been reduced to the "minimum staffing" requirements as dictated by this scheduling model. I ran a hub store with over 90,000 parts and many days would work alone up front until after 10 in the morning. Somehow you are expected to do cycle counts, planograms, go in the lot and change batteries, etc. all along only having yourself or one other person available. Breaks are a thing of the past there are rarely enough people around to make that happen. I love the auto parts industry and it really sickens me what has been done to these stores.
