Continental Auto Parts

This employer allows you to work independently with little or no supervision. They do follow you with GPS and are very strict about the timeliness of deliveries. Their training is not given to you by a trainer but rather by another driver that may not have the best work ethic. That person then rates you as to if you may make deliveries independently. Their hourly rate is low compared to other shipping companies. Time off is really not a luxury to have here. Your hours can be as much as a 12 hour day or sometimes as short as 5 hours. You get paid for the hours worked. It might be a good 1st job, there is little to no advancement and they rarely compensate you for parts brought in for recycling. YOU have to provide your OWN GPS to find customers.

I been with the company for three year I don’t have no complaints. All I say is the job is easy and you learn something everyday . There lots of overtime and you also get commission after 90 days and sick days and holiday paid and vacation after a year . Driver job is to load and unload and deliver auto parts like headlight/tail lights / bumpers /hoods .employees get discount , sometimes you get ten stops or maybe more the may thing is getting stops done there days that your route change but is always good to learn a new route sometimes there are days that you make good tips . every Christmas the customer there bless you with good tips be honest everyone at the company treat you like family and respect full and the supervisor to

Previous management was sure on procedure and unable to properly communicate to potential customers. I had to visit previous customers to win them back with a positive attitude and the ability to persevere.
I learned not all customer will return due to new management.
Best part is getting a previous customer to return and prove to them you can give them excellent customer service.

Great customers once you leave the wearhouse the job is great. Van's you drive are responsible kept and reliable. 
Managment sucks.  If you dont sick up they will always side against you. Lots of favorites mostly women. Pay is the lowest in the field.  Always understaffed so expected to pull double duties. Most equipment dated and dangerous. Replacement or repair only happen if it brakes down or someone gets hurt. 

Continental Auto Parts is by far the most disappointing job I've ever encountered. The management does NOT respect nor appreciate their employees. The pay is horrible & the facilitie(s) are disgusting!!!!!! Employers are supposed to provide a clean and healthy work environment for their employees, this company is the farthest from that. This company is filled with bias and prejudice people as well. 
DO not work here!!!!

There is way to much high school drama and back stabbing in this company.They like to build you up with False Promises on a daily basis!..The raise you get depends on your work ethic and is no more than 10 cents.The New Guy that is in charge has a trust issue,so he went and had the whole place wired up so that he can spend all day watching you work.Easy money? Yes!..Nice place to work?..NO!!!.. If they tell you your going to get commission as a driver,don't expect much..It is a garbage commission check!!

Continental Auto Parts is a business dedicated to putting out their best quality merchandise at all times. Only one problem. They ask too much of their workers without pay. I have learned the trade of the job well and succeeded in learning all aspects of the job. I worked their for a year and a half never received a raise from them. As is the problem for other workers. An unprofessional management.

Since they were bought out the new owners have drove the morale into the ground. From taking holiday bonuses away a month before xmas to taking away commissions without anything to replace it. From changing the way systems work without any warning to changing decisions last min ( email stating half day  on new year’s eve to being told at 30min before noon they decided your staying till 4pm ) People are leaving almost everyday.
