Pros

Advance has a lot of great perks, very involved in local communities, liberal "work from home" policy, casual/business casual environment

Cons

I can only remember ONE person actually retiring from Advance, and he worked in the DC. Too many people leave after lengthy careers with the company because of the turmoil. Every 3 years or so there is another shift in Leadership, so there is no true consistency in the organization. Advance still thinks they can be a Retail and a Wholesale market leader because the people they have in Leadership positions don't know the automotive business and don't realize they can't be all things to all customers.

- Good time off and flexible - Some leaders are great - Regular Benefits

Cons

- Not much company or team buidling activities - If you are new you may feel isoated, kind of (cliquey) in some departments - Not much option to switch leaders - With big projects you may feel as if you are doing more than you were hired for
