Pros

The hours are not that bad if you don't mind primarily working closing shifts. Information and automotive parts knowledge is available through computer training. Benefits packages are available to PSM's and vacation time is given twice a year. Given the right store team, you could have a great work experience.

Cons

Most stores are not properly staffed. If you do not know the Area Manager personally, good luck at being noticed. "The good old boys" system is well established. Vacation time is taken away from you if you can not use it. Yearly raises and performance reviews make it difficult to gauge your professional growth. The YEARLY raise is usually only a couple of cents. Bonuses only given to store manager, team is never recognized for its efforts. Rarely a pat on the back. The company always tells us how well they are doing financially, but it never trickles down.

Pros

i have learned a lot about cars and how the system works, before i had no clue of what a rotor was or what a tune-up consist of. teaches how to b a sales person and they were really good on giving me flexable hours to work around my school schedule. very friendly environment, positive atmosphere, and clean place.

Cons

VERY LOW pay, too much work, and not enough regognition for what is being done. this place takes advantage of the abilities a low paid workerr can do comapred to a worker that gets paid more to do it.

Pros

A decent place to earn a paycheck but not much more. Clean, but not much more. Wish I could think of more reasons!

Cons

Unbelieveable hours for store manager to work. Not one chair for any employee to sit on, ever. Feel like cattle-if we sit, use a nonexistent microwave or have a nonexistent desk, we won't be productive. Unrealistic scores to maintain. Repetitive, useless phone conference calls, even on our "day off". Never have 2 days off in a row. Of course Autozone is doing well. Of course Autozone is handing out nice bonuses to senior mgmt. They're doing it off the backs of the slave labor, better known as store managers. No real hope for advancement. No real hope for anything better except that as the economy improves, we will jump ship. Autozone won't have a captive audience, stuck in a job without hope or pride but will seek out opportunities as the job market opens.
