Advance Auto Parts Employer Reviews

They need to hire more employees with a vast knowledge in the automotive field. Customers were unhappy having to return parts due to lack of knowledge on the employees part. Needs managers who have management abilities.

Eg; Corporate in Virginia tell us how to staff, how many workers, during what hours, etc. They do not know our busy/slow hours of day.

As far as working was fun to talk shop, about cars getting people what they needed to work on there cars. Management very seem'd to last, went through five store mangers and two disrict mangers in one year. disrict mangers where always change rules and looking for a reason to fire someone to cut there cost. Store manger did the same always had different – more...  ways of running to store and looking for reason to write people up. I last ten years before sliping last manger seem'd to have a anger mangement problem. – less

Its an okay place to work. Would prefer more hours. But the people are freindly.

Good place to work if you like dealing with the public and like the automotive industry.

Some mgmt. suspect? Good+ overall quality co. w/mgmt. follow up.

Typical day at work was very stressful. Workload was more than one person could do comfortably. Management was different depending on what level within the department. Upper management was very culture oriented, lower management was driven and work environment was extremely pressured. Hardest part of the job was no coaching, only embarrassment by which – more...  they assumed inspired motivation. There were good times as the company as a whole worked with different charities and had internal promotions that were fun. – less

Strong Management, Business to Business sales. Running store operations.

Job consists of mostly dealing with the public. Solving their issues by getting them the supplies they need to complete their particular job. Management helps you to learn all aspects of the job to promote advancement.

I love the job. I learn something new about cars everyday. The management is good they step in and help when we need it. I enjoy meeting people and making the customer happy.

overall job itself rewarding, just need to watch who they put in General managers, and district managers positions.

Great Work Experience
Friendly Work Environment
Growing and Expanding Company
