Pros

CarSense promotes within the company, giving everyone the chance to excel and move up in the company. They also treat their employees extremely well. It has family atmosphere when you come to work, everyone truly cares about each other.

Cons

Balancing your work life from your personal life is very difficult, it is a demanding job and requires a lot of time and energy .

Thanks for the post. We agree, it is difficult sometimes to balance work life and personal life, that's why we did away with 12 hour shifts for sales associates and are looking into seeing where we can tweak a few other departments as well. Hang in there, we understand and will do are very best to keep things balanced a tad better.

Pros

Very friendly and easy going atmosphere. Everyone looks out for each other and are very helpful. The company has strong values and sticks to them. Quality of product is superb and the process of how the vehicles end up this way is a great sales tool to show the customers. Smaller company that seems to be on the growth path which will lead to great chance of climbing up in the company.

Cons

Taking a day off here and there seems to be difficult. Every few months an employee should be able to take a Saturday off or switch his or her day off during the week for a weekend off once in a while. There should be some kind of bonus for the first 7 cars.

Team work is the name of the game at CarSense. We have a program that encourages our sales associates to take a Saturday off every once in a while to recharge and spend some time with the family provided there is adequate staffing. I will be sure to remind the managers in New Jersey. Thanks for the feedback.

Pros

Very enjoyable and positive place to work, even under stress everyone keeps a professional/ positive attitude, and compliments when you do a great job and motivates you to always push and deliver a great product. It's a place centered around the customer that actually cares about your experience as well, it's hard to find a place where everyone even the head executives knows your name, and greets you with a smile, sometimes even cooks you lunch. It's great they promote from within and acknowledge people who have went beyond, and find people that seem to be a perfect for for their positions. In short It's a great place to work, and it's the people that make it that.

Cons

Not really any cons per say, just realize there is a certain level that is expected from everyone here, it's not a free ride, but comes with its rewards and acknowledgements. The pay may not seem the highest in the way of car dealers, but the atmosphere and benefits make it worth it.

I totally agree with your statement "In short It's a great place to work, and it's the people that make it that." It's our people who contribute to the culture everyday who make us who we are, thanks for being on the team. As for the equipment, we will definitely look into anything that needs to be updated. Thanks for the heads up.
