Pros

Their paychecks don't bounce. A/c in the summer. Heat in the winter. Employee discount. That's about it!

Cons

Long hours, low pay. Work every weekend, never get two days off in a row. Late nights followed by early mornings. Ruins any home life. Zero quality of life. Always on your feet. Never enough of the right kind of help. They hire a lot of morons and it takes an act of congress to get rid of them. Black on white racism is rampant in the Birmingham regional. Very political. If you are white, you won't get advanced. The level of knowledge and multi-tasking required is out of balance with compensation. Under a lot of pressure to drive sales and push unneeded items at customers. Slow sales week? They start cutting hours which hurts paychecks. Got the picture yet? Company gross is 5-10 billion. CEO makes in excess of 4 mill/yr. Those doing the work are the lowest compensated. Typical income gap destroying the middle class kind of company. Parts not made in America. Need I say more? They don't care about people, only their KPI's.

Pros

Getting experience in customer service and learning a whole bunch about automotive parts and products using their period training and product knowledge available through Doc. Loved helping customers and providing them with whatever knowledge I had to best help them solve their issues.

Cons

Turnover is at an all time high and it's not a surprise as many new employees onboard the company have no idea as to what to do due to lack of training. My current SM is constantly berating and causing a multitude of issues. Is it any wander why the company has broken stores within the districts?
