Pros

none, seriously, not when compared to any other company.

Cons

The company values cheapness, not frugality, there's a difference. The culture is horribly old school. Very hierarchical and looks down on Millennial values like openness, real spirit of collaboration, technology (seriously they are so far behind it's painful). There is a very real "saving face" attitude at O' Reilly where people do everything they can to take credit for other people's successes and blame everyone else for their failures. They stay late (past 5pm) every day and look down on you for working 40hrs a week. If you are looking for an extremely mediocre place to work than O'Reilly Corporate is the place for you.

Pros

Good company to work for if you like cars. Good discount. Team members are friendly. Many opportunities for relocation with current growth. Most managers will work with accommodating schedules.

Cons

Management changes too frequent. Difficult to keep a level of morale when a store manager changes every year. Often stores will run short staffed to save on payroll.
