Pros

Vacation and sick time for tenured employees.

Cons

Management only cares for themselves. This place has become a revolving door for so many employees it’s just become sad. So many employees have left due to lack of care and lack of proper treatment. Customers become frustrated because developing a relationship with an advisor for the longevity of your car is close to impossible. Managers say one thing but do another. It is extremely sad that one cannot have an opinion without it being gossiped about or thrown out of proportion BY MANAGERS. If it benefits them then things will happen. If it doesn’t well your opinion does not matter. Health insurance is one of the worst. Deductibles are high and the treatment is below subpar. While only being employed here for a short period of time I managed to see this. I can only hope that things will change.

Pros

- decently flexible on scheduling if something comes up and you need to leave or be off for several days - give you lots of things to prepare you for the job - you can decorate your cubicle however - giant break room with free soda and water and a ton of fridges and microwaves

Cons

- boasts being a Fortune 500 company, but you won't get a new headset - all the chairs are busted up - you can't even change the background on your computer (like that's some type of distraction) - they took away styrofoam cups from employee use because they put down one strip of carpet in one department, allegedly costing $20,000. - systems go down on the regular
