Pros

Professional & fair. Training good. Everybody knows what there role is. A sense of teamwork. Associates all were very nice

Cons

Hours long if your a sales associate. Customers who want to abuse you like other car sales people who make a lot off of one sale.

Pros

They are extremely understanding of what you want to do for a career and in your personal life. I told them when I started that my career goal was not with them and they were happy to work with me and continue to help me with my goal. The GM even offered that I could work there part time if I wanted when I get to my goal. I will also say that the company knows what they are doing. They lead the industry in used car sales and have built a massive company on being honest and straight forward about everything.

Cons

There are many meetings and training times that you do not get paid for. I suppose in the end it is all in your best interest but there are some that seem pointless.

Pros

It was nice to be able to see and drive a lot of different types of cars. I learned a lot about cars.

Cons

Unsatisfied with management because promotion were not given based on merit. However, that was probably just my management and does not reflect the company.
