Pros

I'm a Do It Yourself person all the way, this business is about saving money by doing it yourself. Increase your knowledge of auto systems.... Highschool/college student. Discount

Cons

Compensation is minimal at best. Employees are numbers, and will not go anywhere, so just don't plan on it. The reason things are free is because the employees make it free. Advance will continue to develop systems to justify denials in advancement. Its not about stocking quality parts, they are driving the DIY customer away with chinese parts and by investing their attention on useless things like: -Free commercial deliveries -Free instalations ( not compensating employees for these services ) -Rediculous and redundant stocking technics -Rebates -Funny is good, but the comercials are misleading The sales staff need to be paid and treated as profesionals not theives
