AutoZone Store Development reviews

Being the corporate headquarters, everything here is over analyzed and over-reacted to. The entire region is ran by the HR manager who can make life very miserable for you if she does not like you for any reason. I really enjoy my job and like would not have left the company except for the fact that one mean-spirited person can cause hardworking and well-intended people so much grief any time she chooses. Like several others that I know, she completely ruined my job and made my time at AutoZone miserable.

Their "culture" is one of job threatening when you don't sell enough wittdjr/ checkout challenge(sales add ons) or when you catch the DM or other upper managers in a lie. (which they do on an hourly basis) Their pay/benefits is not comparable to other companies. They hire people with no automotive knowledge and expect them to work on cars with out any real training ( or threaten to fire you if you refuse) They will cut their allready tight payroll to artificially inflate the stock price at the end of each quarter(they cut almost 50 hours out of my store) without reguard for customer service levels or employee pay or work load . Most of the time leaving 1-2 people on the counter. Way too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Store managers have no authority to do anything but are held accountable for everything. Store managers are not backed up by the company at all.
