Corporate office in Memphis ok, upward mobility difficult. The corporate office is dedicated to their 5K stores.

Pros
Good place to start a corporate job, to learn one type of corporate culture (they require you to shout a cheer and pledge before most meetings) Location of office in downtown Memphis on Mississippi River Free downtown parking At a certain grade level, benefits package is great--Bonus, 401K, stock options, etc. The corporate office is very dedicated to the retail stores, require "store dress" uniform day every Monday, otherwise business casual. No casual Fridays. There are many long-time AutoZoners, people who have been working there for 20-35 years, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. The corporate office really emphasizes employee recognition for a good job.
Cons
The internal depts are not integrated, don't use SAP, ERP, etc. to tie systems together. Systems are mostly home-grown and patched together. The internal depts act as silos, independently, so communication can be tough. There's a lot of "old-school" thinking. Upward mobility difficult, like to move senior management laterally to develop them but difficult to execute anything with constant movement Pay is below corporate averages for similar jobs in other places

Pros
Strong financial performance. Layoffs are very rare, nearly unheard of.
Cons
AutoZone has many managers, but very few genuine leaders. If you're lucky enough to be paired with one of their leaders as a supervisor, you'll be fine. If you're paired with a mere manager, expect that you will be considered cattle, less important than the next conference call.
