Unappreciated and unsafe working conditions

Pros

Fellow employees have been great peers. Most are eager to help. There will always be difficult customers to deal with, but the majority have been great which makes you want to help that much more. Have made many new friends amongst our customers.

Cons

Reduced all part-time working hours while raising qualifying hours in order to cut all part-time employee healthcare benefits. For the most part have stopped hiring full-time employees, especially in the neighborhood stores. Believe the main reason is to keep from paying any benefits. Forgot when last received any type of a raise. Delivery Drivers are the least paid, often required to use vehicles in need of repair and work in unsafe stores.

Good Company But Watch Out For Local Management

Pros

Employee discounts on parts, some of the shops give discounts for labor to NAPA employees. Coworkers are good people to work with as a rule. Company has an excellent reputation among mechanics. They really go the extra mile in customer service. A number of car dealers that brag about using genuine factory parts are getting some of their parts from NAPA. Room for quick advancement because of turnover. Long term employees seem happy with the company and their compensation.

Cons

The people I worked for own a large number of NAPA stores in this part of the state. Most of the drivers work part time and are retired types with many years of experience in the workplace.To a man, they all said that these were the meanest, nastiest people they had ever worked for. I don't know how other NAPA franchisees are, but the ones I worked for viewed their drivers with suspicion and thinly veiled contempt. Starting pay is low and turnover is high. Commercial customers constantly complain that prices are too high.
