Pros

Friendly teammates, great managers, large development teams

Cons

New CIO caused panic by threatening to end remote work. He also had a round of layoffs that had never happened before. This job was not the same as what we talked about in the interviews. I joined because I was promised work as a full-stack developer, but actually, I was only working on the old legacy platform. Also, the on-call schedule was very difficult for me. I had to frequently wake up very early for problems and I could not enjoy my weekends when it was my turn. The extra time off awarded for on-call is miniscule for all the stress and for losing sleep and free time on weekends.

Pros

The catalog system is easy to use and technology wise they are pretty up to date, very simple and convenient

Cons

The hours suck, the pay sucks. The company only cares about profit it’s no different from autozone, they are able to sell parts for less compared to Napa because they pay the employees barely above minimum, they don’t like giving raises no matter how hard your work you have to basically be a store manager or higher to get a good pay. They open more stores to make more profit and keep employees at the bare minimum. It sucks working there I think if your ISS, which is wholesale, you can make decent money with that because they give a bigger bonus from the amount of sales you make plus less responsibility and better hours but thats if a position opens up and you’ll probably be there 4 plus years until you can get that position unless you’re lucky and one opens up in the area.
