Pros

They have a great thing going. TEAM is hard to find but Advance is a great one. Started at sales and moved my way up to retail parts pro after 4 months and looking to keep moving up. Great career oppertunities.

Cons

The sales goals could be a tad lower and more attainable.

Pros

Ability for growth/promotion and stability if you kiss enough butt. Simple job with good customer service skills you can do well.

Cons

Employee morale is at all time low. Company will never back you up. Old school buddy system rules all. They will use you up and throw you away.

Pros

Easy money, feels good to help local garages & contribute to my community.

Cons

I'm a driver. Was hired at minimum wage a year ago, had a great boss at the time, he moved on to a CAM job, new manager hires people at 25 cents more per hour than me. I go hard every day, they have promised me full time for months but still part time after 13 months. A lot of favoritism. Moron for a GM. I tried to talk with him "privately", he made my complaint a group discussion before telling me "I'm not a babysitter". I know when I'm being taken advantage of. All of my coworkers feel overworked and underpaid. Also have been promised a LAW position for 10 months. Still hasn't happened. I close commercial every day, delivering non stop all day until 7pm, also am expected to take out trash and clean bathrooms everyday, and put up truck 2 nights a week. New guys are more appreciated than me & haven't broken a sweat since they started. Once a better opportunity presents itself, I will take it. I'm on my way out, there is nothing this company can do to keep me, and trust me, I am one of the best assets in my district. I was told growing up that showing up on time, not calling in & working hard will get you everything you deserve. I was told wrong. This company has broken my spirit like a wild stallion. I only stay because I have to support my family.
