      It was a job.

      Pros

      This job was a job. The pay was in USD. It had a schedule and there were other employees. My specific store manager was absolutely incredible.

      Cons

      Hard to fire bad employees so no matter which location you work you're stuck with one of "them." All management above store managers was terrible. The CPP at the small store I was at was absolutely incredible, total baller, and pulled down sales that make hub stores do a spit take, but RM said it "wasn't enough" and was extremely rude about it. New employees who literally couldn't change a tire were being hired in at and above the pay scale of actual mechanics who worked there. Pay is not commensurate with knowledge.

      Must "bleed" Advance Auto Red to be considered a good employee

      Pros

      Not a single pro unless you are part of the popular leadership click. They do not care about their employees.

      Cons

      Extremely poor culture. The company only cares about numbers and does not value its employees. If you are not part of a popular click within leadership, count your days limited. The biggest mistake I ever made was joining the leadership team.

      Avoid unless you're part time.

      Pros

      Nice Co-Workers, OK employee discount. An acceptable job ONLY if you need supplemental income, limit yourself to 20 hours or less and you wont be aggravated.

      Cons

      Every last one of these stores hires at minimum wage and in NY this company is trash because of it. We're surrounded by places that are paying $2-$5 more per hour, people with automotive experience are only worth a quarter or 50 cents an hour MAX. The job has a STEEP learning curve with the endless amount of training that you'll never absorb and a million different APEX catalog functions you'll need to remember. Stores are being run on a skeleton crew, GM's are salaried and are basically working for peanuts because they're working 60+ hours a week. The prices are AWFUL, even after offering 10% to people I get laughed at on a daily basis, $6 for washer fluid the gas stations sell for $3, $12 quarts of oil I can buy for $6 at dollar general. I've met a handful of people that have quit after giving this place YEARS and they've only made a couple dollars more than minimum wage or are at minimum wage. Oh and we cant take lunch breaks or 15 minute breaks because it would stress the other person out at the counter, having to juggle transfers, cashing, online orders, phone calls, check engine light and battery tests...enough to drive anyone crazy.
