Here's what's likely and some advice:
* Likely Considerations:
* Safety: Piercings that could pose a safety hazard (e.g., large hoops that could get caught on equipment) might be restricted.
* Customer Service: Some companies have policies about visible piercings if they are perceived as unprofessional or could potentially offend customers. While standards are evolving, it's possible that a more conservative policy exists.
* Best Course of Action:
1. Ask During the Interview/Hiring Process: The most reliable way to know is to ask the hiring manager directly about the company's policy on facial piercings during your interview or after you've received a job offer. Frame your question politely: "I have a facial piercing (or plan to get one). Could you tell me what the company's policy is regarding facial piercings for employees?"
2. Observe Current Employees: If you visit an O'Reilly Auto Parts store, take a look at the employees to see if you notice anyone with facial piercings. This can give you a general idea of the company's tolerance, but it's still best to confirm with management.
3. Check the Employee Handbook (If Hired): Once you're hired, the employee handbook should outline the company's dress code policies.
Good luck!
