Pros

I always enjoyed working the the store team. Over the years I have had been able to coach and promote many great teammates.

Cons

After Advance purchased Carquest numbers became more important the people. They always talk highly about the teammates but there actions suggested something different. Compensation was change and presented as a increase when it was a decrease. I was talking about unachievable budget and the effect on quarterly bonuses for DM's and store managers with a SVP and he said he didn't care about what anyone made before the compensation change. After hearing the lack of concern for teammates from upper management I resigned a few months later.

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.
