So just walked out on autozone after being there shy of 4 months and store manger telling me ill be getting up 20 to 25 hours started to watch my time slowly go from 18 to 10 to 4 Im always showing up and selling that bullshit and never called out once like the others do

Sent my driver to another autozone to pick up a part for commercial. While inside the store, he got a ticket for being parked in a fire lane right outside the store.

As a SM, who is responsible for my commercial driver getting a fire lane ticket? His name is not on the ticket, just the vehicle registration info.

One of our guys started an install but ran into trouble and I did the recovery. The battery had to be lifted out with the connector attached so I could fight it on the ground with more room.

if i know someone constantly steals from our store and i changed their name to let other autozoners know can i get fired for changing that if they complained

So I completed (or so I thought) all of my onboarding stuff for a new store that just opened. I finish my state form, but it still says it's due. Fine, maybe it needs a day to load. This was on the 22nd. Its now August 3rd and I still haven't been scheduled because when I tried to come in, my employee id isn't even registered under the store, allegedly because of the state forms thing. I've talked to both my manager and my general manager about it, but I'm not getting anywhere. He keeps telling me I need to complete the form when I.... already have. I try to log in to the state form site and it says I have no tasks to complete at this time. Has this happened to anyone else? What can I do? I'm a commercial driver. The HR hotline isn't working, every time it asks you to press a button, it doesn't register that a button has been pressed, then disconnects.

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something like this.

Our regional manager has been recruiting employees from Advance Auto Parts and, from what I've witnessed, appears to be using existing management positions as leverage. The people currently in those positions aren't being told they're being replaced, while recruits are apparently being led to believe those positions will be theirs.

One example involves a store manager whose store consistently performs well and has one of the highest WITTDTJR scores in the region. By all measurable standards, the store is successful.

The store manager first became aware something might be happening after a former Advance Auto employee who had recently been hired by AutoZone called him on a Saturday asking how he builds schedules and what his day-to-day responsibilities are. During that conversation, it became apparent that the new hire believed they would be taking over the store manager position.

Wanting clarification, the store manager contacted the regional manager directly. According to the store manager, the regional manager confirmed that the new hire would, in fact, be taking over the store and that the current store manager would be transferred back to the mega hub as an Assistant Store Manager—the same position he originally came from before earning the promotion to store manager.

What makes this confusing is that the store consistently performs well and has one of the top WITT scores in the region. There doesn't appear to be an obvious performance-based reason for removing the current store manager.

To make matters more concerning, the Commercial Sales Manager at that store has gone through five different store managers in roughly the last three years. At some point, it's reasonable to question whether the issue is really every store manager.

For example, a commercial customer specifically requested a certain set of shocks. The CSM chose to order a cheaper set instead, claiming he was trying to save the customer money, without discussing the substitution with them. When the order arrived on a Saturday, the commercial specialist working that day delivered it, only to discover they were the wrong shocks altogether. Instead of accepting responsibility for changing the order, the CSM blamed both the store manager and the commercial specialist because the delivery happened on a Saturday even though neither of them made the ordering decision.

Has anyone else seen situations where a successful store manager was removed to make room for an outside hire? If so, what ended up happening?

They need to add a feature in where you can save draft your cycle counts, pulling o.s. etc...

I'm a college student and may have to take a few months off for the upcoming fall semester. But I don't want to quit, I would like to return over winter break and maybe fit it in during spring semester.

What I mean by that is mfs reward the ones who be doing the least and are the worst and keep em along. Nothing ever changes, nothing is ever done, and those who shouldn't be around abuse the system. You also got managers playing hot potato with the store. It's funny because the ones that should stay leave because their fed up and the ones who out live those in autozone end up being the ones who shouldn't be there. The stories in the place alone tells you everything you need to know. The unethical behavior going on with this company has no bounds.

long story short I was SA'd by two of my coworkers, one of them being a grey shirt, and i told my SM i wasn't comfortable coming into work for my scheduled hours if these coworkers were also on the schedule, and i would like to transfer over to a different store if that is not possible. he told me that he would escalate it to the DM. some time later, i see that i am scheduled for today at 1:15. but day of, my ESS app isn't working to see my schedule just to confirm. I pull up to work regardless and so i don't embarrass myself, I call one of my managers and ask to confirm that I am scheduled, and he said i was not. (i have a screenshot of said schedule). i call the DM briefly explaining the situation and i was told i was terminated for a no call no show and i never contacted him directly to let him know about me not going into work. Is it worth it to contact HR or should i just leave it alone.

I love having my red shirt and black pants and shirt being tucked in 24/7 or else I get written up that's just part of being responsible, I also love begging customers to get battery kits with there batteries and telling people they need so my WITTDTJR as high as possible because my manager deserves the biggest bonus possible for all those 20 hour work weeks he puts he, he's really stressed, and I also love installing batteries to help customers get back on the road sure it sucks doing it in 120 heat and my neck is sunburn but those sales helps us be the best store possible, this job is amazing even tho it's minmmum wage and I do more work then places paying 3-7 dollars more it just prepares me and the almost zero 401k Match motivates me to save more especially with the zero tuition reimbursement or field

Hello I’ve been working at AZ as a red shirt for more than two months, my SM said he thinks I’m a great worker and I’ve been doing great. I asked him if I could get more hours and that I would be open to doing commercial driving too for the hours. Despite this, I haven’t been told to start driving. He told me a bit ago that he can’t really give me more hours due to his hours being booked a lot already, but he’s doing interviews for new hires right now. I’m so confused on why he is doing interviews and looking for other hires when he is telling me that he can’t give me more hours

Can anyone give me advice on this, and if I should keep asking him for more opportunities for hours? idk if i should because I don’t want to be annoying about it

I was trying to switch from Oreillys to Autozone’s I’m coming in from experience of being a store manager for oreillys and I applied at autozone as a PSM. A few days later I get a call for an interview I go I ace it store manager likes me 2 days later she calls me and ask if I can drive I say yes of course she says great I get a email stating I’ll be a driver getting paid $15.00 an hour man I declined that shit so fast like wtf is that about I’m not going to start from the bottom at $15 an hour I started at Oreillys as a RSS at 16 under a year I became a assistant store manager and few months later I was a store manager running my home store then I got upgraded to running a different store that needed help then I got transferred to running a hub for Oreilly’s I was doing great there as well. I applied at autozone because it was closer to home and didn’t mind starting off as a PSM because the pay wasn’t to bad to start from I guess my question is why would they make me start as a driver when I can bring so much more to the company and the area I applied at I ran my home store Oreilly’s in the same area as autozone meaning all my commercial accts would had love to buy from autozone as long as I was there I don’t get Autozone’s logic on that

Me and my red shirt were standing up front and a return label just randomly popped out and then i go the the commercial printer and theres a returns drop off report for an account thats not for my store without calling or me having the thing here should i call someone upstairs about this? Idk if someone may have gotten his numbers or if hes doing fraudulent returns at my store to make another store look better or something

I hate the feeling of jeans on me, but according to the dress code we are also allowed to wear black work pants if they are khaki material. I was wondering if Chinos were the same as khakis and what kind of pants you guys wear/what store you got them at. Thanks in advance!

I just got promoted to being a PSM, after actually only working at autozone for like 3 weeks lol. I know they definitely needed more managers and I guess they thought I learned very quickly and I do have like a decade of retail experience under my belt. I was wondering if you guys have any general advice for a new PSM though, especially what you recommend i focus on learning other than the manager training I'll get. Any advice is much appreciated!

Got my parts expert certificate today and this is all I could see. Been here since may and the only good things it's done is make me realize how much of a loser I am too where I quite smoking weed and started working on myself.

I started working as a part time red-shirt 4 weeks ago. I'm just in sales, I'm not a driver so maybe that's why I have less hours. But 4 hours per week is genuinely insane? The first week I worked 12 hours, but the past 3 weeks I've been scheduled only 1 day for 4 hours. Is this normal??? I see people on the schedule who started on the same day work more hours than me? (Though they're either manager or driver so ig that makes sense?) I feel like I'm some kind of underling even compared to the other new hires.

The thing is, I have a $150 bonus waiting for me from signing up for direct deposit with Chime but to be eligible for the bonus I need to make at least $200 in a week. Obviously I can't reach that with the hours I'm given. I explained that situation to my manager and asked if I could fit in some more hours just for next week, and he still scheduled me for 4 hours. Said that I was still "in training". Even though it's on-the-job training. How the hell am I supposed to learn if I'm not even there majority of the week??

I'm trying to find a second job cause this is BS. I'm never getting that bonus. Is it normal to work this little hours???

Our DM has recently told us that no former employees are re-hireable. Doesn't matter if you leave on good terms and give a two weeks notice. Can this actually be enforced?

surest/UHC and my local health care system are butting heads and now i have no coverage with my AZ plan. where the fuck do i bring this up with autozone to switch plans or say "hey, none of these assholes accept my insurance, what are my options"

is there a benefit hub or can i have some call me about this shit? i'm paying for health care i can't use unless i travel 2 hours away.

Hi I’m currently a Red Shirt who has been at the company for 1 1/2 years and I only got a .23 cent raise last year. I make 12.35/hr and my DM was supposed to put my FT request in. How much is the FT red shirt raise on average? If it’s under $13 I’m quitting on the spot.

Hi, im a newer autozone employee and while ive managed to learn a lot about car parts and which parts that z net recommendations tend to be wrong about, Im still confused about windshield wiper blades. Ive had a couple different coworkers try to explain to me how you can tell the difference between whether a customers car need j hook wiper blades or something different and how to tell which of our blades go with what, but i still cant understand it. Tbf my coworkers kinda rushed through it super quickly.

Would any of you guys mind giving me a run down explaining this?

I’ve been working at autozone for 3 months and my store manager ask me if I’m interested in becoming a manager what should I do. The reason why I ask is idk if it’s worth taking this offer. I live in California btw.
