Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Genuine Parts Company full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Top quality parts and supplies. Well known national name recognition.
Cons
Corporate Headquarters management that truly has no real understanding of the local business needs for each area independently. They try to be a cookie cutter type company without true success
Advice to Management
Eliminate 50% of the corporate management and managers overseeing managers because there are top many management positions that like to micromanage from a corporate room that truly wander if the corporate office has windows for those making decisions to know anything remotely about the auto parts business .

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Genuine Parts Company full-time for more than a year
Pros
The employees try really hard.
Cons
Mid and upper manager are clueless. "Promote from within" so you end up with Inbred relationship of people who don't know anything but the company culture. Security out of control. Can't spell "Best Practices". Anyone who has any breadth of experience will feel stifled here.
Advice to Management
Time to nut up or shut up. Need some control from above to allow the IT department to mature. ITIL? What's that? Don't let headcount reduction be your solution to an inability to make money.

Doesn't RecommendI worked at Genuine Parts Company full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
First year, raises every 3 months, good benefits
Cons
Management does not care about people in their departments but instead how they can look better to the Executives and above. Not sure how some executives are still there when most of their department is gone due to the executive. Best part about leaving was the stress was left behind.
Advice to Management
Care about your employees health instead of what kind of numbers you can receive from sales. Employees working late and on weekends and no time with family. Family life is important to everyone.
