Business Outlook

Pros

Good people who care. Unique business model should be a plus, but it's not being capitalized on.

Cons

Outdated business model. Implements way too much change, new ideas, hoping something sticks; then lacks the follow up with that idea until it eventually fades away.

2.0

A very demanding and disappointing company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers are pleasant, friendly, fun; most share an interest in cars.

Cons

Company is top-heavy, not interested in promoting from within, or even an employee's reason for working there. Their IT department is years behind other automotive companies, and purchasing does not inventory the proper parts based on local need - just appear to buy on price.
