Pros

Large corporate entity will take a chance on hiring almost anyone willing to work

Cons

Tribal corporate culture makes advancement very difficult for those not handpicked or sponsored. Do not be cajoled by the term “open-door policy”. The only open door is the one to the building. Keep your ideas to yourself; they will not be heard. Company is not very forward thinking and very slow at change. Beware that salary IS NOT corporate controlled as you will be told. You may very well be compensated below those with less experience or quality. Do not believe that going above and beyond will help you here.

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
