Pros

I had a great team. My store managers were great but the turn over happened quickly. Many of them left for better opportunities. I had 6 store managers over the course of 5 years.

Cons

The pay. I started off barely over minimum wage. I worked at Autozone for five years and by the third year everyone getting hired on at that time was making more than me starting off. My wage didn't follow the economy and dispite having more experience and knowledge at that point, I was still making less even though I was working more hours. They force you to sell but the job is not commission. Management doesnt motivate well. You do your job or your fired. When I stepped up and filled a manager position after one week of training I only got a .35 cent raise. There's no way I could live off my pay checks even when I'd clock out at over 40 hrs.

Pros

You get a paycheck every other week.

Cons

AutoZone will cut hours, change schedules last-minute, and keep making more and more demands to sell add-ons and accessories. Stores are staffed to the bare minimum (at best) to cut labor costs. Promotion is based on who you know, not how you do your job. Raises are tiny; hourly staff with 10 years experience can expect an 8-10c/hour yearly raise. Company makes it clear that everyone can easily be replaced.

Pros

No official training program, manager was out on medical leave for months. Learned everything from customers the operator would send to our dept because she didn't know where to send them. Many of these were complaints and didn't belong in our dept but I learned by researching and asking questions and found resolutions. Moved up fast and received awards. Worked long hours and thought they were paying off with awards and excellent reviews and promotions. Then new manager came in who drank on her lunch hour and wanted her "friends" to work with her.

Cons

I complained to my new manager, sexual harassment from a male co-worker. Meanwhile waiting for her to get with HR, this coworker became violent. Went back to manager who felt we were attractive couple and to get over it, regardless he was married. I said I wasn't interested in men and lesbian. She let it be know she disagreed with gays and we don't belong here so I had to be terminated from AutoZone.
