AutoZone is a excellent company to work for. In my time of hardship, I applied for the program and didn’t think that I would approve for it considering all I had to prove my situation was my words. I was mailed a $600 check, but unfortunately that $600 check went to hotel Fare very quickly and now I’m back homeless. My entire tax refund plus my assistance fund went to paying $104 nightly at a local hotel. Meanwhile I was trying so hard the whole time I was staying there to try to get some sort of housing voucher , but apparently where everything is such a process, I couldn’t land myself an apartment in less than a week. Especially with the rest of my chaotic life, but regardless of my continuing hardship, the assistance fund from AutoZone was a blessing that I didn’t even know I was receiving! In fact, when I got the envelope, I didn’t even open it for about two more days after I received it because I had no idea That I was getting one! It would be nice to have been reimbursed all of the money I spent at the hotel for my short stay before I became homeless again. Because now I absolutely have no money to get myself into a apartment if one became available. so I’m more mad at myself than anything! I should’ve just kept staying in my car until I found an apartment that was affordable. And it would’ve had a nice down payment and security deposit. Thank you again, AutoZone !

I think it is really sad Auto zone gives an employee $1000 to move to a new area to transfer stores but doesn’t help an employee who is displaced by hurricane… having loss personal property and having to pay for his family to stay in a hotel for 4 weeks : costing to have to eat out instead of being home able to cook
This company has lost its values and morals

I lost my dad last month, and I wasn't quite ready for that I needed some help really bad and quick. That's When my boss,MR.EDGAR mentioned the E.A.P. I went on line and filled out the app. Within two weeks I was blessed with help from the E.A.P..thank you for having such organization.
I would like to thank everyone who had a say in the outcome, I would also like to thank MR.EDGAR(5222).
P.S I am Now going to do my part. I will have deductions taken out of my check to contribute for others.
Once again thank you so much..
I am a proud Auto Zoner of over 5yrs. I was put in a hard place a few yrs ago when my mother was not doing well, I needed to take F.M.L.A in order to help her. I was unemployed for 2 months without income. Auto Zone provided me with the money to catch up my mortgage! I was so thankful and appreciated each and every person who made it possible. I will never forget what Auto Zone & Auto Zoners have done for my family. Thanks again
