Pros

-employee and family/friend rental discount -drive new cars -learn about the bodyshop, retail, and insurance rental industry.

Cons

-cleaning cars in a shirt and tie in rain and/or winter weather -Internet is completely whitelisted and cant even google directions or details about a body shop, customer service related feature, or even how to operate a new car technical issue or for example a new fancy pants bluetooth feature. So the company relies on you to use your personal device but also not be allowed to use your personal device in order to operate their business day to day essentials issues. This is a bad look as if you use your phone for gps or finding a bodyshop address it makes it seem employees are playing on their phone to management or customers when we are actually looking up directions or how to adjust a feature on a new or obscure model car. They expect you to figure this out without being given time or the resources to be able to figure it out. This is Very stressful and completely unnecessary.

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 possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
