Pros

- Drive/work with a variety of new cars - Coworkers generally nice - Fairly autonomous during the day

Cons

- You will vacuum cars in a suit in 100* weather. Its as absurd and uncomfortable as it sounds. - Customers are often terrible - Archaic / obtrusive business practices that will frustrate customers constantly (and contribute to them being terrible) - Extremely upsell-driven environment. In non-Airport locations, you often don't have the variety of cars on hand (or the volume in customers) to even attempt reasonable upselling - Highly aggressive sales targets; will let you go if you don't meet them. High threshold before commission on sales will come into play. - Low job satisfaction / low pay / limited commission bonuses / bad work-life balance

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
