Genuine Parts Company/NAPA Auto Parts Employer Reviews

Pull and deliever parts to various clients in the Minot, ND area. Would also put inventory away as it was received. Cleaned the store front area.

a typical day I shipped out ups on a daily basis, i worked with customers in person an on the phone. I learned good communication skills, computer skills, an I learned i can multi-task. The management came in an had a whole new agenda. Which i do understand. The customers an the employees.

Everyone works hard and cares for each other, a great place to work.

It is a good starter job, but not one to make a career out of. No real possibility for advancement, lack of raises, and no health benefits. Basically I am a customer service liaison between the store and the customers. they see me more than anyone else. i will miss my customers but i need to find my place in the career world

My main responsibility as an Executive Secretary was to provide administrative support to the General Manager. I was responsible for handling highly confidential documents, communication and information management, scheduling
meetings and events.

Biggest issue is the lack of organization in their stores. Mainly with hard parts. Learned a great deal on non automotive parts such as tractors and heavy equipment.

Genuine Parts Company offers a stable work environment with good benefits. On a typical day at work, I deliver parts to other NAPA stores. In addition, I pull parts and get them ready for delivery. On this job, I have learned to work successfully with customers, co-workers, and managers. I have also learned Nashville's streets very well. The hardest – more...  part of the job is dealing with Nashville traffic. The most enjoyable part of the job is talking to different people. – less

learned a lot about hlpdesk support, learned how to research different thongs to finds a resl

The co-workers were awesome to work with. The management, not so much. No training, changed compensation packages 3 times, changed job standards twice, all with no warning or reason and in a brief period of time.

I really enjoyed working for gpc, its very productive, fast paced and the people are very nice. The benefits was great, the company appreciates what the employees do.

Low pay, no advancement, didn't get raises like I was supposed to.

I loved working for this company. The only reason I left was because I had transferred through all the departments, became bored once I learned all I could, and the job offer at Impulse was offered to me on a silver platter with a pay increase. (Had I known the drive would make me look elsewhere I never would have left NAPA). I moved all throughout – more...  the payable side of the APAR center located in Norcross, GA. I first worked in a data entry position, using ten-key and balancing month ending reports through journal entries. I spent most of my time in this department, was promoted to Coordinator to three employees and was highly successful. I felt I had learned all I could within a couple years and transferred to a Supplier Research Department. This was much more my type of work because it was often up to me to find the best way to research a suppliers account. The goal was to make sure our 60 or so suppliers were being paid properly - not over or under. Each month I had three distribution centers that I was over. Their statements were sent to me and I worked on a daily basis with the ops managers to ensure they were satisfied with my job. The most fun I ever had at NAPA was creating a slideshow presentation through Powerpoint for a game that me and a co-worker volunteered to be in charge of. It was a competition to see which POD (four employees to a pod with a coordinator as the team lead) could clean up all of their statements the quickest. We went to Marshalls and created a racecar track, with the cars representing each team. The team members got to decorate their own cars and the presentation was to explain the rules, what the goal was, and what prizes were available for first and second place. Our director was very excited about it and it turned out to be a really fun activity. Soon, the statements were all cleaned up and the job became just as boring as my first position, so I transfered again but was only in the third department, CRM, for a few weeks before this Impulse job was offered to me. A head hunter found me through an old co-worker that new my abilities and strong points. I interviewed and got the position, so I turned in my notice at NAPA. They are a great company to work for. – less

Worked in warehouse with people younger and older. Everyone blended together like a family. We worked as a group, everyone had their own order to pull, but if you needed help at the end of the shift, others would step up and help you to finish the order.

Most of upper management are hipercrites. They tell you one thing and do not follow their own rules. Regional managers are full of thenselves. Comes in town and think they know what's going on, but they don't. Glad old manager got transfered.

pritty good place to work un less ur area manger is a (FOBIT) uther then that if u like driving and low pay to start then its a great steping stone to working ur way up in the company

napa is a fun and easy job. the crew and mangers are fun to talk to and fun to work with. even thou some crew menmber are harded the rest are friendly and easy to get along with

I do love Genuine Parts Company, but there is no room for personal advancement unless you know someone. The only thing I don't like about the company is the in your face favoritism. Other than that I love everything else and the experience that I received/

i learned alot about the automotive business, and how to use a computer, doing filing

I liked the job. But it was because of a broken wrist from racing that I was there. When my wrist heeled up I returned to racing full time. It was a fun job coworker were all good. Most all the shops were real friendly and good to deliver to.

THe NAPA Auto parts company in itself is a great place. Working there however is a comepletely different story. IT is very hostile and not dependable.
