Pros

employee discounts on auto parts. that's it.

Cons

The hours and time of day you're in are never the same two weeks in a row so good luck trying to have a personal routine. Chain of command fights with each other at all levels of the totem pole. they are very argumentative about using your accrued vacation time. I worked there for four years, was turned down for a promotion twice, and each time it happened they brought in a new hire to do said sought after job and I would have to train them. do not work for them and do not shop with them or their affiliates(API/worldpac/carquest) as long as you have a single bone in your body that wishes well to the working man.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
