Pros

-Quickly growing, allows for advancement -Competent Executive team -Good company culture

Cons

-Very uncompetitive pay -Still uses the "good ole boy" network for hiring many open positions -Talent farm (hire good employees at times, they get some experience and leave ASAP. Too bad O'Reilly's doesn't fight to keep them)

Pros

It's a job. You get some pay, and some benefits. Most of the people you work with are nice, and everyone shares the same gripes about the state of the company. Some of the directors are actually nice. The Patterson South building has a cafeteria in it that sells overpriced food, but at least that's there.

Cons

To sum it up, this once great to work for company has went to crap. The bottom line is all they care about. Making sure their shareholders are kept in the green, making sure the CEO and CFO can report good earnings so that shareholders can cash in stock. Research the selling of O'Reilly stock by large shareholders and you'll see what I mean. They pay their corporate employees anywhere from 10-20% below the average salary for the specified job. Recently, a policy change states that you can be written up if you are sick two times in a six month period. A doctors note does not excuse you from being sick. They have started to hire "part-time only" to replace full time employees, even in corporate positions. All in all, this company is moving from being a family oriented type of workplace to a rock hard corporate monster. Morale is low, in every department (I talk to lots of people from the company, as it is part of my job). The senior management are mostly in place because they have tenure, and "know people".
