Pros

employee discounts on auto parts. that's it.

Cons

The hours and time of day you're in are never the same two weeks in a row so good luck trying to have a personal routine. Chain of command fights with each other at all levels of the totem pole. they are very argumentative about using your accrued vacation time. I worked there for four years, was turned down for a promotion twice, and each time it happened they brought in a new hire to do said sought after job and I would have to train them. do not work for them and do not shop with them or their affiliates(API/worldpac/carquest) as long as you have a single bone in your body that wishes well to the working man.

Pros

Good salaries in general however, men get higher salaries, saw this first hand and frequently. Quick promotions for men, Training opportunities, diverse workforce. No pension program. No profit sharing for non-management employees.

Cons

Cheap medical benefits offered, no tuition reimbursement programs, little in the form of time-off, if you are new in a salary position you only get 2 weeks vacation until you reach 5 years with the company.
