Pros

Discount on parts is quite good which is a requirement given the low wage.

Cons

Low wage, extensive on computer training, a lot of it being common sense stuff that you learn during childhood. Some training not even relevant to the position you work in. Most vehicles used for deliveries are quite old and not in a very good state of repair/condition compared to the competitors vehicles. Drivers are not allowed to take a bottle of water with them in the vehicle which is quite bad considering the heat here in Texas. Cell phone use in the store is out of control, especially in the back of the store where the drivers operate. Some drivers do very few deliveries and lack flexibility. Work load falls onto other employees and management does nothing to remedy the situation. Work schedules change every week for some of us so it is very difficult to plan around the job. Also, if you are not scheduled to work on a Friday, you have to call into the store to see what your schedule is for the following week! Corporate like to push the team spirit slogan and how valuable team members are but, the bottom line is how much employees make for the company and the share holders.

Pros

The catalog system is easy to use and technology wise they are pretty up to date, very simple and convenient

Cons

The hours suck, the pay sucks. The company only cares about profit it’s no different from autozone, they are able to sell parts for less compared to Napa because they pay the employees barely above minimum, they don’t like giving raises no matter how hard your work you have to basically be a store manager or higher to get a good pay. They open more stores to make more profit and keep employees at the bare minimum. It sucks working there I think if your ISS, which is wholesale, you can make decent money with that because they give a bigger bonus from the amount of sales you make plus less responsibility and better hours but thats if a position opens up and you’ll probably be there 4 plus years until you can get that position unless you’re lucky and one opens up in the area.
