Pros
If you like retail sales, working on/knowledge of cars and trucks, and helping folks keep their cars running then it's a satisfying job.
Cons
Like most retail stores AutoZone never has enough employee's on the floor to accomplish the corporate workload (i.e. store maintenance, stock/inventory/planograms) and service the customer at the same time. Pay is poor when one considers that the employee is expected to be able to advise the customer on how to repair their vehicle and ASE Certification is encouraged. Manager's are severely undervalued, there are cases where senior part-time sales make more money per hour than full-time manager's which is wholly unsatisfactory.
