Pros

Really flexible with time off, reliable pay bumps once a year with good reviews

Cons

The environment is absolutely toxic - racist, sexist, and harassing behavior is the norm. I am stunned they haven’t faced a lawsuit yet. Holidays are unpaid and they toe the line of legality with how many hours they have you work. The pay starts off low, but there is room to grow if you know who to play nice with.

Pros

- Cool cars - Some cool people

Cons

- They want you to find work when they know there is none - They treat car salesman (commission) better than hourly workers which a manager said out of his mouth - They want you to grin and bare any all mistreatment

The car business is a job, not a career

Pros

Stock options are a nice option.

Cons

Low pay. Always work Saturdays. The call center in Houston that makes service appointments will set you up for extreme failure. It’s a bunch of idiots that will tell a client that a vehicle with 120k miles is still under warranty. Learned this from first hand experience with service advisor university, which is a total joke. Really too many to list, work for a private locally owned group if you’re gonna work at a dealership.
