Pros

The people and customers I would say the product lines but all of you're competitors have the same lines some have better line.

Cons

Good lord where do we start? Top heavy in managers and most of them are lazy and arrogant. Even the new managers they are hiring adapt to this Old School management style two weeks into the job. Politics run all over the place and there are so many layers of management you don't know who's ass to kiss to get ahead in this place. (I am not an ass kisser so that's why I am stuck) People are not promoted for knowledge and job performance, they are promoted if they fit the network. Practices and tools in this company are so out dated it is laughable. I had a meeting with a competitor that is so far ahead of NAPA/GPC it was astounding. CRM is a joke cataloging is a joke the management is a joke.
