Pros

good compensation potential, local management flexible with time off for personal affairs, many nationwide locations so relocating may be easy to do

Cons

scripted sales presentation and procedures, follow their sales processes or you're out, volume is the only thing that matters, cookie cutter philosophy to sales and operations for over 200 dealerships that doesn't always fit, medical benefit costs eat up your base salary, shifting pay plans lower compensation

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
