Pros

This was an excellent place to start learning about the differences of each vehicle while understanding the needs of each and every customer. Appreciating the value, time and efforts of all employees involved to make the customer a satisfied one.

Cons

However, enjoying the job it did have its challenges, not every customer is a satisfied one. The altercations of an angry customer can be the biggest task of the day. When handling these kinds of customers you have to make them happy in some form before they leave so you have repeat business.
