Pros
Employee discounts on parts, some of the shops give discounts for labor to NAPA employees. Coworkers are good people to work with as a rule. Company has an excellent reputation among mechanics. They really go the extra mile in customer service. A number of car dealers that brag about using genuine factory parts are getting some of their parts from NAPA. Room for quick advancement because of turnover. Long term employees seem happy with the company and their compensation.
Cons
The people I worked for own a large number of NAPA stores in this part of the state. Most of the drivers work part time and are retired types with many years of experience in the workplace.To a man, they all said that these were the meanest, nastiest people they had ever worked for. I don't know how other NAPA franchisees are, but the ones I worked for viewed their drivers with suspicion and thinly veiled contempt. Starting pay is low and turnover is high. Commercial customers constantly complain that prices are too high.
