Pros

Fun work environment, casual dress, high quality people, great process. Very customer-centric vehicle selection and finance process. Excellent extended service product to sell.

Cons

Extremely politically correct, all references to your faith were discouraged. They say they have an open door policy but if you use the door bad things start happening to you.

Pros

Very competitive pay for entry-level sales, good stock option plan, it was a good entry-level job to obtain valid sales experience. They do give you all of the tools and training that you need to be successful.

Cons

There are no "raises" for sales consultants. I worked there for 4 years, and the base rate per vehicle never changed (meanwhile inflation did!). Some people had worked there 10+ years without the base rate ever changing. Management's solution to this problem? "Sell more cars!"
