Pros

Started in CarSense back in October of 2016 in the sales department. The management team took time to make sure I was ready to go with my training. After being a regular salesman for a couple of months they started to train me on the internet system we use. After about two months of training they moved me to full time internet sales, but it doesn’t stop there I have a goal to be a finance manager. I am currently working with our current finance manager to learn that role in our down time. Now on to the really fun stuff. CarSense takes great care of their employees, from fun events like paint ball to go carts. The great Christmas party that we have each year. CarSense has provided not just me but my family the life we want to have. Thank you.

Cons

Only thing and it’s not really a con would be the hours sometimes. We never work 12 hour days unless you want to. Sometimes in sales it’s needed to make sure you take complete care of your customers by either coming in early or staying late.

Pros

There is no other way to say this other than saying working at Carsense is great. From the people I work with from entry level to management everyone cares about the idea. It is not just another’s dealership, it is obvious on the customer side and the same goes for the employee side as well. In every aspect of your job you are encouraged to do better and be better and it is rewarded at Carsense. I started at a full time entry level position and have been given a great opportunity to move into a management role that I feel like I was actually trained to do and not thrown into to sink or swim, I was given a fair chance. I don’t plan on leaving my position any time soon, I enjoy coming to work everyday. My work isn’t easy but it is rewarding and worth doing.

Cons

You have to work, being just okay isn’t what they want. Also naturally in the automotive industry you may work a few more hours than 40 a week.

Your comments touched on two key values that CarSense embodies: Passion for Success and Opportunity through Growth!! We do hire individuals that go above and beyond, especially with their attitude. This attitude to succeed is also something we strive for when dealing with customers. You seem to be thriving in this environment...keep up the good work! We are actually in the process of revamping our new hire training and I thank you for your comment regarding this.

Pros

Earning potential very high. Great atmosphere with other associates. Low stress. Good work/life balance.

Cons

When starting out training is somewhat lack luster. Sometimes understaffed. Not always the most organized. Communication sometimes limited.
