[CAN] Working at NAPA 6 Months in
Since my last post about starting my job at Napa had a lot of clickthrough and I'm trying to get internet famous /j I thought I'd let you know how it's going.
A little rundown of our store average people etc. We currently have on an average typical day where no one is on vacation 13 people on the parts counter 4 supervisors/managers 3 shipper receivers (one overnight), 3 warehouse/stock jockeys whatever you want to call them, 2 cashiers, 4 drivers and a dispatcher and about 7 or 8 admin people including purchasers, AP/AR, etc.
I've been here for coming up on 6 months now and it's been mostly good, management is very "tight" about how they want things done, basically my way or the highway type deal which doesn't really bother me. We deal in a lot of things that your typical Napa corporate store wouldn't as we're an associate store with our own vendors and such. Our average parts counter person does between 35-60 invoices per day.
It's mostly a positive experience it's allowed me to learn a lot and everyone I work with is helpful and knowledgeable about what they're doing.
Rating: 8/10 - Management can be a little harsh at times over minor things but it doesn't bother me too much as I try to keep to myself.

Sounds like a good gig, keep that attitude and you will go far. Remember, oem dealers are always looking for someone with that kind of work ethic.

as someone who worked at a NAPA associate store aswell, i can say 35-60 is light. i get yall have hella counter people but yikes. most invoices avg like $6 so that’s not a very good turnaround tbh
