Pros
AutoZone offers a lot of great things (i.e. community service opportunities, social groups, and social events), but it often feels these are intentional distractions from the failures the company would prefer not to address (i.e. nepotism, unqualified individuals in roles, non-existent training programs, limited employee development, the over-emphasis on stock buy-backs to increase company share value).
Cons
It's difficult to speak for the entirety of the SSC, but the relationship within Merch & Supply Chain is non-collaborative and severely imbalanced. Unfortunately, this stems from the very top that reinforces the mindset within Merch that they "drive" the company, which in turn creates an overinflated sense of self-worth and is displayed as such in the way they interact with support functions all while deflecting work responsibilities. Unfortunately, most do not share an optimistic outlook since Phil Danielle, the announced CEO-in-waiting, oversees these two functions and has shown no interest in unifying the two teams, ultimately creating a bleak outlook for the company with his impending takeover as CEO in January.
