CSK Auto Store Manager

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's quite easy to get promoted to store manager. Depending on your area, if you have a good location and a team, the work is quite easy. It's very important to have a good relationship with your district manager, it will make your life easier.

Cons

The chances of getting promoted from the store manager level is very minimal. Neither HR nor upper level management help you to move on other positions. It's quite common for store managers to be in that position for a long time, hence the reason they look depressed and unaccomplished.

Great Place to Work

Pros

Great people, lots of room for advancement - fast growing company. This is a company that is growing even in a recession. Fair to employees and everyone I have been in contact with is very nice. They know that family is important and they work with you as much as possible when unexpected things come up - to me that is priceless.

Cons

Slightly lower compensation than I might get elsewhere, but the security is worth it!

Better Communication Needed

Salaried office employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Career Opportunities after CSK purchase.

Cons

Becoming a larger company has made the average office worker feel like just another number. No recognition for a job well done. There seems to be more and more of a disconnect between the employees and Senior Management. They seem to want more and more work out of you - "all take and no give". Communication is starting to suffer in the Corporate Offices.
