Pros

Decent incrementing wages Decent number of hours Coworkers foster a stress-free atmosphere Minor supervisors are encouraging Brings lower staff up to being minor supervisors

Cons

Does not excuse reasonable lateness or absences (i.e. car accidents, family crisis) Punishes those will severe illnesses or health catastrophes (i.e. diabetic coma) Dishonest management and finance department (I was shorted over $200) Eager to fire or reprimand Unrealistic expectations of all employees Last-minute notices of mandatory overtime Inhumane warehouse temperatures Expects workload to be completed in spite of interruptions incurred by management Does not permit employees to hold other jobs or attend college

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.
