Opinion Poll: Which Auto Parts store is Best Or Worst to work for ?
Asked by Wilbur Kitty
Looking to start working again after retiring from the Air Force after 20+ years. Would enjoy a Career with one of the following (Or?): (random order) Pep Boys AutoZone Kragens Carquest NAPA auto parts Automotive Dealer? Or....? Looking for BOTH Good and Bad: Opinions / Experiences Thank you.!!

Best Answer:
In a nutshell: dealerships are hurting right now, even laying off. CSK (Checker-Shucks-Kragen) got bought by O'Reilly's. My personal opinion: watch out for corporately owned stores--very demanding and little appreciation for anything you do. Almost all CARQUEST stores are corporately (JV) owned. Most NAPA's are independently owned. AutoZone and PepBoys are retail retail based. i.e.: longer hours, 7 days a week. NAPA has been the best to work for from my experiences. Best of luck!
