Pros

The paycheck. Free "gym" if you're into that kind of thing. And by gym I mean one room with a few treadmills, bikes, and weight machines.

Cons

Too many to count. If you want to work for a company that pays so low it's a JOKE and people actually talk about and laugh about it as if it's funny to have great workers and pay them next to nothing, this is the job for you. If you like completing lengthy assignments only to be told to re-do them at a manager's whim, this is the place for you. If you don't want ANY personal, vacation, or sick days for your entire first YEAR of work, this is the place for you. Get sick? Too bad. Have a sick kid that needs to go to the doctor? Expect to get fussed out because you took precious company time off to take care of yourself/your family. If you have any kind of life at all outside of work, this is not the company for you. They tell you they are flexible and make the job sound amazing to get you in the door and then you realize how crappy it really is. Low pay, low morale, walking on eggshells, no proper training, no benefits (the "great" healthcare plan is a joke; you pay insane premiums and co-pays and then still owe tons out of pocket), no time off for having a life, and ridiculous expectations, you want to work for O'Reilly!

Pros

There isn't a pro about this company! Oh wait there is discount on parts for employees which use to be really good. But changed since then.

Cons

O'Reilly is like the WalMart of auto parts. They act like they care about you. They tell their managers we are a family. They have the easiest to run parts lookup program, but somehow their employees never seem to know what they are talking about. The reason being is because O'Reilly wants the cheapest labor they can get. I was part of the O'Reilly take over of Checker Auto Parts. Not only did they take my assistant manager position away, but they also cut my pay $2 an hour. Then basically told me we have a commission program that will make up for it. Except that it was based off my previous years sales. I was the highest selling person in my store. So they set my number I had to reach extremely high. Well above my normal sales. If you were a Checker employee, and they cut your pay. You still made to much! So don't expect to get raise's. So they didn't do a hostile take over, they just pushed Checker employees out. Unless you were one of the ones willing to accept O'Reilly as the greatest company ever. Don't expect much from O'Reilly they don't care about you. Or what you need pay wise to survive. They only care about paying you as little as possible, and making money. If you have any actual automotive knowledge don't even consider it. Don't waste your knowledge here, your worth more somewhere else.
