Thanks for the feedback and review! We’re sorry that your experience at Parts Town did not match our intention of being the best place you’ve ever worked. We’re glad to hear your positive feedback on the promotion opportunities, nothing excites us more than seeing a team member move into a new role. We agree that training initiatives, as we grow, should be one of our highest priorities. We know we’re not perfect and would encourage you to talk to the Talent Team about your thoughts on how we can make Parts Town the best place you’ve ever worked.

Pros

Likable team, occasional fun activities, good citizenship

Cons

Pretty over the top sexism (not in terms of hiring practices or anything, just the way team members act to each other).

Pros

As long as you stay out of proactive sales, it's a pretty supportive environment (more on proactive in the cons). The company has a friendly atmosphere and you'll get a lot of chances to meet coworkers outside the office (if you so choose, it's not required.) The company engages in philanthropic activities, and attempts some progressive ideas like a game room and a gym. The company is big on recognizing individual efforts and team efforts, even if it does feel a little forced sometimes. There is a lot of racial and age diversity which brings a great amount of innovation and new ideas. The company has a revenue sharing program which gives you some stake in the companies success.

Cons

Sales. The con of this company is that proactive sales is an absolute nightmare. The company has not figured out how to do this effectively yet and turnover is high enough to make your head spin. Your leads will be poorly sourced, the software will have bad data in it that will make you look stupid in front of the customer constantly. With something like 300 customers, only about 20 will be large enough to merit an account rep and even then they won't need much help. Add to that, you need to make 50-60 calls a day and you're calling people weekly who only need to hear from you once a month if that. The amount of firings also really cut into morale, you'd think they could find another job for those people or something since most of them are hard workers.
