The box is alive and well at AAP that thinking outside is not considered.
Just another poorly run corporation that no one really wants to work for. Sad.

Around here, there are two bad AAP and one good AAP that I have visited.
The good one the workers are retired age that enjoy doing what they do.
The bad ones have managers that are in their late 30's employers that act like young teenagers but are probably in their 20's somewhere.
It is my observation that in an environment like what you describe everyone drops to the lowest level of anyone there.
All it takes is one bad hire that doesn't get fired quickly or straightened out quickly, and the place goes to lower she'ol.
