AUTOZONE INC

We believe the foundation of our success is our culture, which is deeply rooted in our Pledge and Values: Puts Customers First, Cares About People, Strives for Exceptional Performance, Energizes Others, Embraces Diversity and Helps Teams Succeed. Our Pledge and Values define how our employees (“AutoZoners”) take care of customers and fellow AutoZoners by fostering a strong, unique culture of teamwork and customer service. Each AutoZoner works hard to Live the Pledge, remain committed to our values, share their passion for WOW! Customer Service and Go the Extra Mile every day to continue building and growing AutoZone for our customers.

We seek to be the employer of choice as we compete for talent in our retail stores, field supervision, distribution centers, and store support functions. We focus heavily on retention by offering competitive compensation and benefits packages, extensive training and development opportunities.

As of August 30, 2025, we employed approximately 130,000 AutoZoners, approximately 60 percent of whom were employed full-time and the remaining 40 percent were employed part-time. Approximately 91 percent of our AutoZoners were employed in stores or in direct field supervision, approximately six percent in distribution centers and approximately three percent in store support and other functions. Included in the above numbers are approximately 19,000 AutoZoners employed in our international operations. We have never experienced any material labor disruption, do not have any collective bargaining agreements in the U.S. and believe that relations with our AutoZoners are good.

Training & Development

We have a number of different types of jobs and career opportunities. While many of our AutoZoners follow more traditional career paths (e.g., part-time to full-time sales, store manager, district manager, regional manager, vice president), we encourage cross-functional development and support of AutoZoners as they expand their careers into other departments and fields of interest within the Company. Many members of our senior leadership team have held positions in multiple areas of the business. We also invest in advanced leadership training to deepen our bench strength and support succession planning. For additional information, see “Store Personnel Training and Incentives” below. We believe these opportunities are important to attract, motivate and retain high quality AutoZoners.

Recognition

The AutoZone Pledge and Values drive our success and foster a strong, unique culture of teamwork and customer service. We encourage the recognition of AutoZoners for a variety of accomplishments, such as going above and beyond to deliver Trustworthy Advice and WOW! Customer Service, taking initiative to prevent incidents and injuries, making contributions to help detect or report internal or external theft or providing significant service to help others. Whether they work in our stores, distribution centers, support centers or travel to support our customers and business, we believe AutoZoners everywhere should be recognized for their efforts and outstanding performance. We also recognize AutoZoners for their years of service to the organization and our customers.

Health and Safety

We are committed to providing a safe working and shopping environment for our AutoZoners and customers. Aligned with our values, we strive to continually monitor our working and shopping environment to keep our AutoZoners and customers as safe as possible.
