This is a poorly run company when you look behind the curtains. - Recensione dipendente - Division/District Manager presso Advance Auto Parts

Poor leadership. This company is way behind the competitors in every category and yet believes it is out front. The amount of money spent on Commercial Programs resulted in a paltry sales number that could have been achieved for significantly less. The Corporate staff was incredibly large and growing daily which means that they each had to justify their existence. This created a workload for the stores that is not possible to complete. Most new programs were only followed until the "newest" next program was rolled out. Nowhere in this company does anyone have the guts to question any of these programs and the impact on the stores. Regional Management cannot think outisde the box. If a directive came down saying the Earth was flat, we threw out the globes. Store systems are circa 1990's. Several hours daily were spent fixing issues with it or waiting for someone at the Call Center in India to respond to your issue.
