Probably the best auto parts business to work for
Pros
far greater pay and benefits than other competitors I have worked for like O'Reilly, autozone and merles. These companies make you feel like you work at wal mart. Your just a doer/pawn to complete operations. At Napa you do feel like a part of a team, like you are all in to the company you work for. You get treated better and paid better than their counter parts.
Cons
Lately Napa is engaging in a "run bare bones lean" campaign that means each person has to handle excessive work loads. If sales are down, P/L report negative or profits are down, the only answer is to cut hours. Run leaner until you only have one person answering phones and getting yelled at because customers are pissed off about poor service. The only way to advance is to work 50 to 60 hours a week. I imagine the CEO must work 24/7 (pause for laughter) Being constantly burnt out and pissed off is not my idea of a career path.
