Pros

If you like cars and enjoy working with the public, you will like working at Advance.

Cons

Pay is lousy. The DM thinks 25k is great pay. Once they hire you they will cut your hours to nothing. This job is a job for someone who is living at home. If you are trying to support a family don't bother with Advance. Another issue is all of these acronym's the upper wigs come up with. Its like you have to remember all this crap when all you need to do is take care of the customer. Customers expect you to be a full service garage. Installing batteries in pouring down rain, replacing wiper blades in pouring down rain, telling them what the problem is with their car, selling the parts, and then taking it back the next day because the idiot couldnt fix it.

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
