Pros
Great hours and the flexibility you have if you work PSM, PT.
Cons
Horrible pay, no commission, changing batteries, bulbs, wipers, checking oil etc. and we don’t get paid for that. we get a raise yearly and it’s about 10c -50c . The more you get paid the less they give you for your yearly raise. The employee discount sucks. They raise prices every Sunday and sometimes it’s tripled… just for our wage to stay the same
Pros
I got to drive a truck to deliver parts
Cons
Everything , no commission, horrible upper management, they scam their customers . I wouldn't have worked there if I wasn't down on my luck
Pros
Easy to learn system 401 matching is good
Cons
People assume you're mechanics and must understand everything on a car No commission on batteries 12$ an hour
Pros
Constant work, you will get your hours.
Cons
Autozone expects you to upsell, but you get no commission, they only want you to work 40 hrs, but it takes over that time to close up the store, it would not be too bad a job, if you were paid properly IE commission, but you are asked to do so much for the tiny amount you make.
Pros
Good place to work with benefits
Cons
No commission Working with public
Pros
Good people, great ability to learn on the job with resources provided by Autozone such as z net and infographics
Cons
Pay was not competitive enough the company would benefit from a commission or bonus structure for lower-level employees
Pros
A starter job. Great way to build knowledge on car parts, Learn how communicate with customers and build experience in customer service.
Cons
Pushes you to make sales, but you do not benefit from them. They disregard other efforts, such as organizing a store or how service is provided. They want to see numbers, but do not want to provide you with any commission or raises for those numbers.
Pros
- Air conditioned store. - Work within the automotive industry. - Typical employee discount with an extra 10% on some weekends.
Cons
No longer a career. Selling parts used to be a commission based job and having expertise in not only parts but also dealing with local shops and independent mechanics would make you a well compensated sales person. Today they are looking for kids straight out of high school and old heads that are retired/injured. For ages 20-35 they try to offer an extra dollar an hour to make them a "manager". In reality, your just given a key to the store and are given more shifts to open/close. Over time you receive regular reviews from the store manager where they tell you that you've been doing a great job and are going to receive a $0.23/raise. Eventually they will start making promises like promotions and being given your own store to manage. Sounds good but they cant make everyone a manager and 90% of the staff doesn't want to be one. You'll meet coworkers that have been waiting on there own store for 5-10 years and the ones at 10 years of experience are the ones to watch. They will get offered a store and pass it up because its just not worth the stress with the amount of pay. A store manager from a different location tried to convince me it was a good ladder one day and then mentioning the hourly for store manager. The amount mentioned was LESS THAN $19/hour...salary. What a disgusting and embarrassing amount to pay someone managing a store for you.
Pros
You had a job and received a check.
Cons
The company required you to have an open schedule that would change weekly based on their needs. The pay was extremely low for adults trying to find a job. It doesn't make sense that they want you to train to be a parts pro and you'd get maybe a 2-3 dollar raise if you became a manager. Which still wasn't a livable wage. This company also offered no commission compared to the competition. Yet they wanted you to make sure you sell unnecessary little items like battery or bulb grease with every related sale. When winter came around, they called it the slow season and cut everyone's hours as if your bills changed because they lose sales during these two months. They come out with high profit annually though. If management above you at your store was stagnant and not moving up or around you weren't moving up either.
Pros
Was close to were I live
Cons
Prejudice store manager Hours all over the place and working three weeks in a row Pay was less than discussed with no commission Lies upon lies Manager lets drivers take 4 hours to do an hour job tops with no repercussions Let's anyone just rev their cars in the parking lot like it's a meetup.
