O'Reilly Auto Parts CEO and leadership

Working here provides a means to grow your automotive knowledge, and you can make some great friends and connections working the counter.

Working here has not provided well in terms of pay. Promises of promotions only to get 25 to 50 cent hourly raises is ridiculous. If you become an RSS or Assistant Manager, expect about the same pay for either position. Unless you're a manager, their promises of pay increase is minimal and you'll be disappointed most likely.

Discount on parts

Very poor management and including district manager, they will transfer you with out asking and don't like to give pay raise

Don't care if you have experience or not

Team work

Change of management.

Team work. Customer service. Clean store always. Put merchandise in stock. Make sure to answer customers questions.

There is an abundance of knowledge available for you to learn.

Upper management thinks of it's employees as expendable. They will work you like a dog, I was lucky to receive a full weekend or one at all and was never able to use PTO in over a year and a half. Someone is always trying to take your job, since there aren't many opportunities to advance. No matter how hard you work, you might get demoted without warning because someone else did better than you on paper one month. They preach about all the opportunities available to you, but it's only to get you to stay long enough to become a store manager, which have low salary and often work more than employees. Causing their hourly rate to often drop to around $12-13 sometimes. Incentive pay is very low and they will use it to calculate a visually higher pay rate for you to see so you think you're making more. Even though it's just incentive paid once a month as a gift with higher tax rates, their math is usually about $0.60 for ever $100 you sell goes towards it.

Parts are usually cheap; employees pay company cost or 10% over on most order-in items, whereas other parts shops like advanced get 10% off or Autozone getting 20% off. $2000 in parts can easily be brought down to 1000-1250 depending on the items. Much easier to look anything up with O'Catalog than most other systems.

Helping customers understand vehicle issues and learning about management side of the business.

Low pay.

Discounted parts,

Number one. (They don't call you employees. The company as a whole is a team. Therefore, we are team members! That is awesome secondly the benefits on every level for every type of person appears to be quite equal and Bountiful. For the minute you walk in as a hired employee, you are immediately catered to in your specific learning style. I know that my team members went above and beyond to prepare my desk and all of my possibly needed supplies, before I got there. So far, this is an excellent place to work. They are a family first company!

The team is amazing there

Not being able to take a break

Everything. Really great place.

The people I work with are friendly.

The chaos and lack of organization
