Pros

O'Reilly is a growing company, secure employment, close to home,

Cons

Continually asking team members to do more. When team members leave they often do not replace them and expect the remaining team members to do more and more work with no increase in pay/benefits. Job descriptions are lengthy and they expect you to be proficient at a variety of tasks and take these positions/responsibilities for $10 - Are they kidding? Really? They are totally inflexible about work schedules and rules. They Micromanage everything - usually a supervisor that is not able to do the job they are asking you to do. Lengthy Policy manual with many rules and regulations, but only seem to enforce them on team members they do not like or if they are trying to rid themselves of you. During initial interview, HR generalists and supervisors interviewing tend to overstate the company, benefits, and position you are applying for to make it sound better than it really is. Once you are on board you figure out that it isn't quite as good as they stated it was. Constant turnover keeps things in turmoil. Low pay and poor benefits cause people to come and go all the time. The company is making record profits - they need to reward the team that makes this possible not just the guys at the top.

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.
