Pros

Customers are awesome and every situation is different, so you are constantly learning new things. Co-workers are great and it's a great team environment.

Cons

Commission only pay is very unpredictable. When business is slow, pay is down. Although the team environment is pretty good, you always have a few bad apples that only care about themselves. We are suppose to be a TEAM!

Pros

Very communicative managers. Provided feedback on performance, job training is really tailored to the individual. Benefits package for part time associates was fair. I was proud of the product I sold. Flat commission was great. Sell a Ford Fusion, sell a Mercedes C class, same commission - no pressure to put people in the wrong car. I felt good about that.

Cons

Part-times sales consultants have evening and weekend shifts. As a second job, it was hard to meet with customers who needed a second appointment to finish the sale. Often times, I would have to partner with another consultant and then I would only get half of the commission.
