Pros

Free water and coffee daily and free lunch on Saturday.

Cons

It's the car business... No work life balance...be prepared to disappoint your family, lies to get you in the door, bait snd switch on job you applied for, high sales volume means low commissions, company makes profit while you make minimum wage, leads are not distributed evenly or at all, keeps a lot of salesman in order to keep salesmsn from hitting bonuses on their pyramid bonus structure, low traffic on the lot is a "you" problem not a product or marketing problem, favoritism, poor training, high turnover ,there are too many to list.

Pros

I loved working with Group1 because there is literally so many job opportunities. You can work at a dealer being a cashier and move up to be anything! A service advisor or even work in accounting or go corporate.

Cons

Some departments have extremely high turn over due to poor or unfair management, poor training, short staff and people in positions not actually having experience in the department their over. I worked very hard and held several titles, but I ate a lot of crow and have been crossed by supervisors making empty promises of raises or promotion. Their call center prides itself on being unique, but their quality control are Nazis and the script is heavily enforced and scrutinized and constantly changes. They like to spit hairs when grading your calls.
