Pros

It's a job. You get some pay, and some benefits. Most of the people you work with are nice, and everyone shares the same gripes about the state of the company. Some of the directors are actually nice. The Patterson South building has a cafeteria in it that sells overpriced food, but at least that's there.

Cons

To sum it up, this once great to work for company has went to crap. The bottom line is all they care about. Making sure their shareholders are kept in the green, making sure the CEO and CFO can report good earnings so that shareholders can cash in stock. Research the selling of O'Reilly stock by large shareholders and you'll see what I mean. They pay their corporate employees anywhere from 10-20% below the average salary for the specified job. Recently, a policy change states that you can be written up if you are sick two times in a six month period. A doctors note does not excuse you from being sick. They have started to hire "part-time only" to replace full time employees, even in corporate positions. All in all, this company is moving from being a family oriented type of workplace to a rock hard corporate monster. Morale is low, in every department (I talk to lots of people from the company, as it is part of my job). The senior management are mostly in place because they have tenure, and "know people".

Pros

The catalog system is easy to use and technology wise they are pretty up to date, very simple and convenient

Cons

The hours suck, the pay sucks. The company only cares about profit it’s no different from autozone, they are able to sell parts for less compared to Napa because they pay the employees barely above minimum, they don’t like giving raises no matter how hard your work you have to basically be a store manager or higher to get a good pay. They open more stores to make more profit and keep employees at the bare minimum. It sucks working there I think if your ISS, which is wholesale, you can make decent money with that because they give a bigger bonus from the amount of sales you make plus less responsibility and better hours but thats if a position opens up and you’ll probably be there 4 plus years until you can get that position unless you’re lucky and one opens up in the area.
