And so I begin another new journey in life
 

Well, as of yesterday, I officially have a new job. Having a job isn't new to me, however, having a full time job is. I am now officially an employee of Advance Auto Parts! I am technically part-time, however I will be working full time hours. (at least 35-40 hours a week) I start friday, and I am pretty excited. Everybody that works there seems to be really cool and easy to get along with, and the store manager seems like a REALLY cool guy. Like I said as of right now, I'm part-time, however hopefully in the near future (next few months) a full time slot will open up for me. It seems like a really good place to work for, and it seems like there is a LOT of room to move up. After my first 90 days, depending on how I do, I may be able to get a raise, if not a promotion. Also, a BIG perk for me, is that I get a 20% discount on pretty much everything besides full motors and transmissions. I also will be eligible for some good benefits after I've been there a little while. I dont think it will take me too long to learn the ropes of the place. I already have a pretty good knowledge of parts, how to work computers, and of helping people diagnose problems, so I feel that I'll be ok. I am a little nervous though about working the kind of hours I will be working, since I've never done it before. But anyways, just thought I'd share with you guys!

Sorry for the long post lol.

Cliff notes:

Good luck with it Dan.

welcome to world of under appreciation :mrgreen:

Wait til you get the customers....

retail FTL

but good luck man

dont ever work for pep boys

ever ever ever

trust me I wouldn't. I have worked retail before...wal-mart FTMFL!!! I can usually keep pretty cool though with a-hole customers. i know that people get freakin NUTS when it comes to their cars, especially when they have no idea wtf they are talking about.

I worked for Pep Boys... the Service manager sucked balls. But I had a good time. I quit cause it was my second job and I wanted to go to my g/f's aunt's boat for the weekend...

thats ghey

oh yeah i have been working there for about a year now, my store is alright but, it sucks dealing w/ customers, what store are you gonna be at?
oh yeah 20% discounts woop

I worked at an aftermarket installation and sales company in Jersey before.

I do and do not miss it. I hate arrogant customers. I miss driving Vipers and Corvettes in and out of the shop. I miss drooling on the Aston Martins. And I miss the huge Bronco.

I'm gonna be at the one in Thorndale

heres my opinion...

drop the mustang

and go back to the 240s.

lol.

haha who knows, maybe I'll pick up a 240 for a DD. I'm kind of planning on doing something crazy with the stang at a later point in time.

Good Luck dann, COme out to WC more often A-hole

I wish I worked 35-40 hours/per week. :(

Good luck man.

well today was my first day and it went well. However, I am NOT used to standing for 8 hours straight. My feet are hurtin.

my boyfriend worked there for awhile..it sucked.
they always made him/and others stay..without telling them in advanced..it'd be time to get off..and they'd tell them no..can't go.
do they do that there?

nice good luck dan..
