NAPA Auto Parts reviews

-Benefits? Yeah, good luck using any of those until day 61. Thanks for the probationary cliffhanger. -Pricing department leadership is a dumpster fire—too many managers trying to grow their own little kingdoms and zero teamwork thanks to silos. -Want to make a simple decision? Prepare to beg a VP for approval like it’s a royal decree. -PriceFX is a total disaster. Honestly, you’d be better off with a stack of spreadsheets and a prayer. -The office environment? Imagine tiny, wall-less cubicles and a mandatory back-to-office rule, even though everyone spends most meetings on Teams anyway. Genius. -If you can hold a conversation without needing a manager involved, do yourself a favor and run screaming from Pricing into Category Management.

Senior management is out of touch of the market dynamics. They use internal metrics and blindly follow advice from experts who seem to give evidence based and factual data. But management has an unclear idea about what or why AutoZone, O'Reilly and Federated do so much better. Management trumpets their successes on mediocre stock and earnings per share results. And yet, they ruined the retail side by cutting back on capable people. As an insider, I tell you that R. Breuaux has retreated from the retail end and put all the eggs in commercial sales. That's why NAPA's stock price as lagged behind their competitors. Meanwhile, Randy and his crazies ruined their independent business. Walker Auto Parts slid into debt. Sanel Auto Parts is now limping along.
