Pros

Advance has a lot of great perks, very involved in local communities, liberal "work from home" policy, casual/business casual environment

Cons

I can only remember ONE person actually retiring from Advance, and he worked in the DC. Too many people leave after lengthy careers with the company because of the turmoil. Every 3 years or so there is another shift in Leadership, so there is no true consistency in the organization. Advance still thinks they can be a Retail and a Wholesale market leader because the people they have in Leadership positions don't know the automotive business and don't realize they can't be all things to all customers.

Corporate and salary are terrible. Service is our best part but never given enough hours to staff store with high prices.

Pros

Certain of the Middle Management does fight a good fight. You get a company car and peers understand team work

Cons

To many to list, but will try. They refer to CAMs as part of the Leadership team, but they have no say. NONE of the current leader have the fields back and never listen to the customers Continue to find ways to reduce base salary and potential for higher bonuses No home and work balance Benefits are to high and cover nothing Always higher from outside the company and industry very little good people and to many idiots making decisions
