I worked at the local ford dealer for about 9 yrs in parts and then Oreilly came to town an came looking to hire me a few yrs after they were here wanting someone who knew parts and worked with the local commercial shops. I was given the second store in town to run after my training, what a mistake. The pay is really not what they tell you for a store manager ( The store manager gets paid off the bottom line even after the bathroom tissue is bought just like you owned the place). Just like any chain they want lowest payroll and biggest profit margains I got that store from selling 8 grand a month in commercial to doing around 60 grand. Got me nowhere plus with what they pay hourly employees its hard to get a decent person on the counter. They also will get a foot in the door at a shop an promise the world but cant deliver. As for the parts, the upper level parts are great if you want to pay about 50% more to get good ones. Sorry thread struck a nerve had to rant!
