Advance Auto Parts' main downfall was when they went public and started trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Since then the management has been a joke and the real decisions are made by Wall Street. Employees now are nothing more than a number and AAP doesn't care who they lay off or when. You are disposable from day one of your employment. For years now I have told others, who have asked me about my previous Advance Auto employment, not to go to work for Advance Auto Parts. It's a stressful Hell-hole and they'll make your life miserable. They used to say "The Best Part Is Our People". That sentiment died about 15 years ago.

Well, by selling many people made many millions. So, you cannot have it both ways. They sold our company to the shareholders. Right?
That was around the time they changed the AAP cheer from have "have more fun" to "make more money" only the execs made more money off the backs of employers. Tammy Finley and Charles Tyson are the only ones left and need to leave! They were part of ruining the company.
Well said: "stressful Hell-hole"
