Pros

There are no good reasons to work at advance auto parts. The only job this is better than is no job at all.

Cons

I have friend who work in fast food who make more money and get better benefits. The hours are terrible for everyone including store management. (General managers are required to work Saturdays and close on Fridays and assistant managers are required to close at least 3 times a week). Completely unrealistic sales goals and very little opportunity for bonuses.

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.
