Not a place for professionals

Pros

They have direct deposit and close on Christmas Day.

Cons

This is not a job for professionals or for people who enjoy operational management. If you are looking for a management job, this is only a starter job. Working here at any level below DM is a job selling car parts. If that is your thing, and you hate your family, I encourage you to apply. The company is entirely too knee jerk. They seem to want to do anything that they can to make life miserable for GM's. In our region, GM's who aren't achieving the unrealistic sales targets are required to work 6 11 hour days per week. Want a cost of living raise more than once every 5 years? Well, for most people that work at AAP, that is just too bad.

Pros

Great pay with a generous bonus plan.

Cons

Little to no support from corporate or upper management. Extremely sales driven and provide the bare minimum for hours/labor to grow your business, especially If you are a store that is pulling the weight of the district.
