Thread regarding Advance Auto Parts Inc. layoffs

No raise this year? What about the tax breaks?

This company could care less about finding people that really know what they are doing. Advance only wants cheap labor that does what it is told.

Not only do they not understand it. Trying to explain it to them is harder than teaching Pigs to fly!

They have no vision for large commercial accounts and no desire to serve them.

To them a good solid commercial customer is the one who buys all those BS promo packs so they can check the box on their spread sheets!

Should take lessons from Napa!

Typical Advance, can only follow, does not know how to lead, and always trying to glue the broken pieces back together. All the time it was thought buying CARQUEST would "solve" the inability of handling commercial customers and they couldn't get that right either. Doesn't this tell you people something?

And they are learning on a late 60's Camaro! Yeah, that will help them understand a commercial customer.

I remember going to Roanoke for the commercial ramp up. They would show the other guys as NAPA, Autozone, Car Quest, and Pep Boys. No mention of Fisher, who had their warehouse and home office in my back yard and two hours from Roanoke. Short sighted vision. Seems the company didn't break down markets.

The CARQUEST DM'S know commercial but the Advance dm's are dumb as dirt.

The Top Executives Are Brain washed They don't see how the commercial Dept. should work. Cams are Brain washed too.

Sad! Look at that picture. What a bunch of know nothings.

No they don't get it! And they never will. They are too busy trying to get rid of the CARQUEST employees because we don't fit their mold.
