O'Reilly Auto Parts

Is this your company?

O'Reilly corporate is a pretty bleak place, especially for a talented millennial. - Retail Facilities Administrator O'Reilly Auto Parts Employee Review

Pros

Well, I always got paid on time. My supervisor was a considerate and understanding guy, as I truly think most of the people at O'Reilly corporate are. Promoting from within is an honest policy that they actively engage.

Cons

Pay is pathetic. The environment is honestly like Office Space, and the building almost looks like a replica of Initech. The organization is filled with countless people who are content with staying in the same role for 10-15 years; no goals, and no drive. The organization thrives on mediocrity. Mediocre people working with mediocre (at best) technology for mediocre pay and benefits. I started at the organization immediately after I graduated with a business degree from a Springfield, MO university. I started my degree following four years of active-duty military intelligence experience. There is nothing to feel challenged by, and I started in a pretty good position on the ladder. I was fortunate enough to be able to leave after three months under circumstances that won't affect me long term, and I'm glad I did. I truly could not recommend this company to anyone that isn't desperate for employment. If you have options, this is absolutely NOT the place for talented and motivated individuals. I was lucky enough to work with a team of nice and helpful guys, but overall, the place just, well....sucks. If you are forced into Springfield and need a job you aren't going to be concerned about going away, or you're okay working for crappy pay, go for it..I guess.

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.
