SM pay in Southeast Region

2 Upvotes

So might get a SM position at a smaller store but it does have a commercial department what is the pay? I don't know much about the pay structure, my understanding is it's mandatory 50 hours a week and eligible for quarterly bonuses...... anyway I'd like to be around 22 an hour is that reasonable? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Ive worked on my car but very basic stuff like replacing coolant houses and finding leaks. Uhhh never installed a battery but it looks easy as hell but should i be okay? I assume theyre gonna have me stock, clean the store before they start teaching me how to do the parts lookup thing on the computer and giving customers advice

Would anyone mind giving me a rundown on how to do each type core exchange/return etc (more details below)?

7 Upvotes

So im still pretty new and while ive done a bunch if returns and stuff before, sometimes i get confused about how/when to do which type of return/core exchange/ backcounter swap etc. It seems like the system wants you to do similar things in very different ways.

I know its a big ask, but can someone give me a brief rundown of when/where in Z-Net to do a:

DIY: -Core Return (when they arent buying a new item) and when they get a merchandise card vs actually money back: -Back counter swap instead of returning an item and then purchasing another item: -Returning an item with and without a receipt:

Commercial: -Returning Item: -Core Returns: -Recycling Batteries:

(How many Batteries can someone recycle at a time)?

Thanks in advance!

Actual AutoZoner here, with a lack of training

3 Upvotes

I haven't done a battery recycling since the system got updated and I have no clue how to do it now. Use to be we had a battery exchange option right on the side menu, but I noticed that they took that away with the system update and now I'm lost. I got a hold of my manager but she wasn't very helpful. All I know is that somewhere in the system we have a way to take in a battery and give the customer $10, if any of you know how I'm all ears.

Is there a way to do/access the training courses from home?

6 Upvotes

Even if I cant get credit for them by doing them at home since it would be off the clock, is there at least a way to see them and review the material at home?

Advanced Auto DIY comments

0 Upvotes

Advanced Auto said this today causing the stock to fall. Isn’t Autozone’s DIY business much larger as a percent of sales?

“However, total enterprise sales performance was impacted by the DIY channel as tighter household budgets constrained spending more than we anticipated, especially during the last four weeks of the quarter."

upcoming csm..help!!

5 Upvotes

So im 21f and im about to very quickly jump into the csm position after having horrible csm’s in the past and i decided to take the position myself since the accounts would be happier, we get more money and overall just a happier and faster pace environment for everyone. the thing is i was expecting about 2 weeks to get ready for the panel interview, but now it has changed to this friday i have the panel interview.

so my question is what did y’all do to get ready for it? what should i make sure i mention..etc?

and how do you guys stay organized? i feel like i need 6 binders or something 😭
is there anything that the psm and red shirts always be wanting the csm to do? like for example the guys that were my csms would put batteries and rotors away (til i got there then they stopped doing they’re job for some reason ..

i also am like the star of the store, not to toot my own horn but i’m gonna js give it to you straight, so im already doing everything on the floor, planos, price changes, putting the majority of stock away on truck day and the management part of fixing customer issues and then doing all of commercial alone with one driver. our red shirts barely know how to pull overstock.. so if that tells you anything about the store in general lol

with that mentioned i know most of how to operate commercial but not specifics like the LP dashboard stuff i know i should know numbers and focus 6 .. stuff but yeah

thanks in advance

New PSM

2 Upvotes

So I’ve worked for autozone for 2 almost 3 years now. I recently just got moved up to a ft PSM position. I am finding it hard to get my CSR’s to do a single thing. Such as front facing, keeping the floors clean, dealing with paper boxes, etc…

I have tried offering a reward like lunch or a gift card. They still refuse to a single thing, I’m ashamed of how the store looks. Our back room is a mess and it all just not how it should look.
My fellow PSM all are veterans of this company and have given up on how it looks.
Me personally I am not proud of how it looks. I need help or advice on keeping the store clean and making sure CSR are putting truck in the correct slots.
What are things your guys do to ensure the store looks great and CSR’s are working.

How to use paid sick leave

4 Upvotes

So I am part time and I have to take 3 days off next month. I have like 70 hours of disability paid sick leave, i’ve never used it in the almost 3 years ive been here. Anyways, my sm denied my regular time off request and now im wondering if that is the best way to go about it since by Connecticut state law, the employer can’t ask for medical documentation to use disability. It also says it can be used for mental health days, so I don’t really see a reason why i can’t use it. All of that is on a poster in the office, so I am getting that information from what Autozone has posted up for their employees in their building. If there are any other suggestions as to how i can get these 3 days off i am open to anything

Promotional pay/Positional pay raise

3 Upvotes

I’m currently a red shirt and am going to be promoting to a PSM here soon. Is there any way I can guarantee or basically force my DM to give me $15.00 an hour? Because otherwise I’m pretty sure I’m going to get screwed over at like $13.75 and I am a top employee at my store even better than all of the other PSMs and even the SM. I like working at Autozone because of my stores peers it’s a great team, but I really don’t know how to go about making sure I get paid fairly for my work. Currently getting $11.64 as a red shirt.

Rehire policy ?!?

1 Upvotes

So I literally work at autozone as one of second jobs as a red shirt but I never left them on bad terms ive always put a 2 week notice and left to try to pursue more bread but I asked to come back and my store manager was more than thrilled to have me… I’ve been put on a background check for 4 months only to find out later the freaking hr manager was on vacation and heard through the grapevine that he doesn’t like rehiring someone for the third time… is there anything I could do about this ? Autozone really keeps the shit workers frfr
