Pros

-vacation time -dental/health coverage -paid sick days/personal days - hires from within - friendly coworkers(not always.)

Cons

- some workers pretend to never make mistakes and will often insult you and compare themselves to you. - pay is miniscule -short-staffed, lack of drivers and they expect you to obtain high efficiency despite a large service area. -they care more about numbers on a sheet than they do the individual. -dispatcher would often create routes that make you work beyond your time consistently. - not open Sundays. A benefit to some, but it's not a Mon-Fri business. Which means some people will have split days off. If it was a business open 7-days a week then everyone can 2 days off rather than a split. It creates difficulties for personal life. -work/life balance - Toxic work environment. Takes too long for a solution to be made, and by that time you will be burned out, frustrated and not wanting to go to work.

Pros

At the time of writing, I have worked for Napa for 9 years. I can say with a great deal of experience that the fellow employees will make your day. Easy people to work with all around. Something about the shared struggle of working for NAPA will really bring a group of folks together. Customers who come into a NAPA come for a reason. I find this to be a much different experience from other auto parts stores. Customers know what they are talking about, and that makes the job all the easier. Hours are consistent almost to a fault, but you will ceratily get at least your 40 hours.

Cons

When I first started with NAPA, they genuinely cared about their employees(gift cards on bday, anniversary lunch, anniversary gift, holiday bonuses, company-wide holiday parties). That is all gone. All management you will have personal contact with has ZERO authority to do ANYTHING. Do not expect a merit-based raise, or even a yearly raise(no raises in 2 years despite $2.3B in net profit for 2025). It seems to take an act of god to fire employees who literally do not do their job. DO NOT CLIMB THE LADDER. The higher you get in this company, the more you will regret it.
