Pros

-A large company so plenty of traffic to sale -Scheduled 40 hours a week unlike most Automotive Sales Jobs -You are the Sales and Finance Associate so you help your customer through the whole process

Cons

-Low pay, they only give you $160 for a vehicle and $100 for the warranty with small incentives here and there -They say it's easy to move up with the company but there are so many associates and it's such a process to become a manager -My location had poor managers and cared more about themselves than making a sale

Pros

Vacation time off, pay was competitive, casual work environment, cross training for management and a terrific training camp for managers.

Cons

Some Regional Managment including being able to trust their word, having limited support (or the illusion of support) from HR staff locally. Late nights were more common then originally stated upon hire.

This company employs a cast of good hardworking people.

Cons

Growth opportunity is limited to those not part of the "in" crowd. All Senior Executives are middle aged, caucasian, atheletically built males.
