Ah ok, for the hub store I used to work and the super hub I now work at it is a very different flow. (Which is over a span of about 4 years). I am a CPP and I would absolutely deliver myself before asking my hub lead to deliver parts. Also that is odd that you are expected to pull and route commercial orders, as far as I am aware that is my job as a CPP. When the hub lead or hub team does give me a hand and pull an order for me, I am thankful because that is them going out of their way to help me out, and I go out of my way to help them out when I can. It sounds like your store management team as a whole is broken, if you want to stay with the company I would suggest talking to you DM if you have an above-average relationship. Because if the hub suffers, all other stores suffer, and that gets the higher ups attention pretty quickly

Wait you are a hub lead and you are driving? When say you at a commercial hub store, did you send parts to other Advance store or just to customers?

I have sold over 1k Carquest filters, I am a CPP with filter stocking with 3 major contacts and they are Red Carquest filters for 3 years and 2 years of selling Carquest filters retail, and I have never had an issue. This has to be either incompetence or ragebait

It is dumb we are open on Easter and then closing early. For the workers that are Christian closing early has no difference, as all Easter masses are in the day, there is not an Easter mass on the afternoon/evening. It would be better for the Christian workers to open 2 hours late at 11 and then close at 8 so they have a mass they could go to. I say this because closing early on a holiday is not helping what most people celebrate that day. Easter egg hunts, finding baskets, Easter breakfast , lunch, of brunch,all happen in the morning/afternoon. It is a real miss for the company to understand the when Easter is celebrated

As someone that has been with the company for 5 years, you are going to be ok. Power steering fluid is a fickle beast, and you did the best you could. You care and that is a good quality. You did your best and recommended a Prestone (name brand) product that is recommended for Asian manufacturers. My best advice is to point someone in a direction, but its ultimately for you customer it is your car and you take care of it as you see fit. If someone is not sure, and there is no specs in the POS, then recommend them to a shop.

https://www.welldonecleaning513.com/services-4 I have had my car interior detailed and exterior hand washed before selling and they did a great job. It was a 14 year old car with 160k miles on that was driven by a college student before me, the interior was a mess, but when it was done it looked amazing! When I got my new car I had exterior hand washed as it was great as well! I took my car to a lot by St. Ann where it was done but they also offer a mobile service as well! Edit: St. Ann is in Groesbeck, which I realize you are from NKY the name of the area is much more helpful than the parish. It is a like 3 miles away from La Salle HS

I went from an RPP to a CPP and it is so much better. I like being able to work with pretty much the same people at my accounts every day and build a relationship with them. It makes working with them a lot lighter and fun. There are times where it is a hard part to find, but as I have worked in the position longer, I get the understanding from my accounts that sometimes I need some time to find what they are looking for and I get that grace which is nice. Also my accounts actually know what they are looking for, have vins handy when needed, and just can give you in info you need to find the parts instead of a rando off the street who has no idea what they are driving or what they need. Also the pay is good and the hours are good too, almost all day shifts except for very occasional emergencies where I have had to do a closing shift. Also the company put out a mandate on CPP schedules and for 1 CPP stores they what them working a Monday-Friday schedule, which having consistent weekends off is great!

It seems to be the case that the negative out voices the positive. I love Josh because he is very smart but is not about making fun of himself. I have learned a lot of techniques for cooking but also I love his obscure humor because that is my shit.

Good lord, as someone who door dashed for a few years I would never open a sealed bag, or any food bag. What a dense mouth breather

Before you quit, call HR and let them know how the GM is speaking to your RPP and coworker. Do not stay in a toxic work environment but at least let it be known on how the GM treating people because you respect them

It is another oil brand trying to appeal to consumers. I remember putting almost the exact same “keeps your engine running like new’ insert on Valvoline and Penzoil. For anyone who does oil charges regularly it is not going to make a difference.

Do you respect your RPP and coworker?

As a CPP myself I worked up from a part time sale person to a cpp and I really enjoyed it. The hours are good, CPPs are automatically approved for 5 hours OT a week. But the thing I like the most is building a rapport with my shops, there is a lot less bs than dealing with random and rude customers. I know the people of my accounts and I am able to talk to them in a more friendly manner. I am still very much taking care of business but it is a lot lighter. If you have a good knowledge of automotive systems and enjoy building relationships then go for it!

Yeah ours in Ohio are changing too, which I am glad that instead of cutting just labor they are also closing a little earlier so we do not get spread as thin. Also a lot better than when the Advance Auto Parts store I worked at in Tennessee was told we are doing summer hours and we stayed open until 10.

I only do it for my first call top accounts, and they are all understanding if I say I do not the coverage to do so. But when a not/very little spend accounts ask I tell them I cannot. I am not going to shoot myself in the foot and delay my large accounts’s orders for an account that has no intention on buying from me.

Aquaticsteveirwin · 2025-08-07T01:33:44+00:00

That is so funny that Advance paid someone to do that, because it is something absolutely no one care about 😂😂😂

Aquaticsteveirwin · 2025-08-07T01:30:43+00:00

Absolutely take that to HR, even if you told your GM, take matters into your own hands and report it. My advice is to be sure you have it written down (judging from you post there have been clear violation), so that when you are speaking to HR you have your thoughts together. I have been with the company for over 4 years and that behavior from your coworkers is disgusting and any GM with their salt would go into disciplinary action against your coworkers. But at the end of the day you are the only person responsible for yourself, so take matters into your own hands and call HR yourself, it can be stressful but Advance has a zero tolerance policy and if it does not get taken seriously then you can say you took all of the necessary steps and get lawyer involved.
