Advance Auto Parts is a horrible place to work. This is a company that has policies in place that promote Inspire, Serve & Grow, in addition to Honesty Pays (this program was put in place to pay individuals to report alleged theft by employees.) The reality is a company driven through discrimination (especially minorities including women and customers alike), intimidation, deceit and the Goodol Boys Club. Locations that reside within At-Will states appear to be time portals that take you back to 1862. Management blatantly parade about, justifying their treatment of individuals with At Will State so as to ensure employees understand procedures. Should one attempt to follow the chain of command for legitimate concerns that can be backed by their own employee handbook, will be immediately labeled and brought full circle due to the level that these behaviors go. If one attempts to contact the Team Member Hotline, they will be directed to a outsource HR department that submits the complaint. You will then be contacted by the Actual Advance Auto Parts HR department which will be conducted as an interrogation to debug and find proof that can not be disputed in court. At this point, termination will soon follow, backed by false and fabricated reasons.
These statements can appear to be harsh, but a modest search online will bring to light a pattern of conduct. It leaves one to think of how many other friendly faced companies conduct business like this in At-Will states?
