Pros

Good people, fully embrace remote work

Cons

Recent IT leadership changes have disrupted the previously welcoming culture. In my time there, the company experienced its first-ever mass layoffs, along with a rise in red tape and decline in transparency. Despite strong stock performance, morale does not reflect that success.

O'Reilly Auto Parts Response

O’Reilly Auto Parts is further modernizing its information technology (IT) solutions and structure, and needed to align the skills of our team members to the work ahead. To that end, we separated employment with less than 11% of our IT team. We recognize that the impact to the individuals affected and their families is significant, and we appreciate their past service to the company. They were given severance based on their position and years of service, as well as extended health care coverage. They can still be considered for other positions within the company if they’re interested, or we’re assisting them with outplacement services to help them find their next career path. This was not an effort to cut the size of our team or reduce expenses. O’Reilly is recruiting individuals who have specific IT skills and experience needed for the work ahead.

Pros

- Has been steady for years

Cons

- Slower to adapt than the US government. - Refuses to use cloud technology because of cost. - The worst architecture for a Kubernetes ecosystem I've seen as a professional. - No promotion path (Leadership isn't even trying to hide this fact now. There's no way to be promoted) - New upper leadership at the CIO level is removing all existing leadership and adding "yes men", removing stability. - Fears of layoffs are in the air. Teams are being moved to third shift.

Pros

Discount on parts, that’s about it.

Cons

Poor management at most store, underpaid harshly, unpredictable hours, childlike managers, “Highschool like” drama amongst the people who just want to push papers all day.
