A great place to work if you don't mind long hours, low pay, and an uncaring "support" system. - General Manager Advance Auto Parts Employee Review

Pros

- A good place to work if you have a passion for all things automotive and enjoy helping customers troubleshoot and solve problems - Good benefits - Promote from within

Cons

- As a GM, I frequently worked 60-70 hours a week and typically at least 6 days a week. This made it difficult to do anything but work. By breaking down my salary plus average bonus, I quickly realized my hourly assistant manager was making more per hour than I was. - Constantly changing procedures often lead to a disorganized store. Largely due to the lack of hours to properly train the staff, on those changes. - Inflexible schedule for the GM's. We were told what days we could and could not take off. On the days we were allowed to take off, it was not uncommon to have to go help at another store or perform an inventory. - Lack of support from middle and upper management.
