O'Reilly Auto Parts reviews

Perhaps due to O'Reilly's rapid growth, there is now a disconnect between the corporate office and administrative staff that did not exist years before. Furthermore, the District Managers are the weak link in the company's "chain of command." There is not the accountability that one might think beneficial and many of their Store Managers do not have the support that they need to run their business. It seems that a number of District Managers, who have worked hard to earn that position, now feel that they have the latitude to "take it easy" and the work ethic begins to suffer to the detriment of his managers and store staff. O'Reilly does not pay as well as some of their competitors. I have found that to be a bit disconcerting, given the growth and profit of the company. Of course payroll is the number one controllable expense, but by the same token you need to pay your staff what they are worth and it seems that this is not the case. Many countermen (Parts Specialists) and shift managers (Retail Service Specialists) are lost to the competition from cutting hours to satisfy a nebulous and inconsistently applied margin. If, in a challenging month, you cut an employees hours from 40+ to 32, and already often paying less than the competition, you will lose employees. If a man cannot pay his own bills, when once he was, then you will lose him. District Managers tend to have very high hourly employee turnover due to this issue. O'Reilly's success has been built by the very professional staff that they have cultivated.

Terrible and unsupportive management. Zero training. Sexual harrasment and bullying from coworkers and customers.
