Realized after COVID how little they care about employees in the field
Pros
My location is great, love the people I work with. Great pay for my position compared to other companies
Cons
If you don't work at HQ in Georgia, you don't matter. They are very well taken care of. Allowed to work from home during COVID where anyone outside of HQ is not. They go home early for holidays, field does not. When company moved back to FT hours after hours were cut, it was not across the board. Most decisions are left to the field to make. No employee appreciation out in the field. HQ get a whole week of recognition during employee appreciation week. Field does not. They pick and choose which HQ policies we have to follow. I feel more like a NAPA employee and not a part of GPC. While I understand that the past few months have not been normal, it really opened my eyes to how little we are appreciated and if you didn't work at HQ you were expected to come in everyday as essential. There were quite a few positions that could have a work from home position but company refused to accomodate.
