Pros

Good health benefits, stock option plan is fair, 401k is fair if you max out your contribution to it and employee part's discount is better than most. Training is great, but you soon find out that you're probably going to use that training and knowledge somewhere else, for a different part's company when your eyes are open to how depressing this company can be to work for.

Cons

Hard work, long hours, split shifts, breaks are basically non-existent, constant pressure to keep your related sales up (Sales of items such as antifreeze sold with a water pump or radiator) sales goal is constantly rammed down your throat no matter how bad the economy is, as the company doesn't want to hear any excuses as to why sales are down, out of date equipment such as the 80's type Oki Data printers that use the old greenbar paper and ribbon ink, invoices still do not use the bar code system, so all customer returns have to be searched manually, pay is low and not consistent with other parts companies. They praise you on being a team member, family and tell you that commission will help your pay, when in reality it's pennies on the dollar and you can seriously make more by saving the change you find in the store or make from customers giving you a tip. You are on your feel ALL DAY and forget about taking sick leave or vacation, because it is so short staffed, that no one is there to work for you if you need to take a sick day off and the threat of letting you go will be brought to your attention if you need time like that off. You are replaceable, and they have a company wide saying of telling you that if you don't follow their rules and policies, you will be promoted to a customer!
