Pros

None. They fail to do what they say.

Cons

Group1 comes in and buys up dealerships and gives everyone false promises. They Won’t buy shop equipment. Or do anything to help the shop when it’s slow. It’s unethical to allow someone to work for 80 plus hours and bring home a 30 hour paycheck when it is their job to bring in the work. The company has everything off site so good luck trying to get an answer quickly on warranty coverage. The best salesman leave due to their unreasonable pay plans. The future of the business is the independent business. All customer pay.

Pros

There are unfortunately no pros of being a technician at this corporation when compared to other OEM dealers.

Cons

Group1 is a publicly traded company, this means they are only concerned with their bottom line. High paying jobs are funneled to low pay techs in order to bump up effective labor rate. When the stock price goes down they terminate people. There are an intense number of corporate policies and rules that you would not otherwise find elsewhere, that make your life as a technician harder, these policies are also set by people with 0 experience in the field. Everybody is paid just enough to survive, I have seen multiple techs with families that need to have a roommate to get by. There are so many terrible policies that all of the good technicians ultimately left for the most part. This company is just as bad if not worse than automation or lithia. Company advertises a 4 day work week an then makes you work 5-6. DO NOT WORK FOR GROUP 1
