Pros

Skilled techs seem to be paid at the highest hourly rate in the area, at least for now. If you do a good job with few comebacks you are generally left alone.

Cons

Employees who lie, cheat and steal are the first to be promoted. Upper management cares only about profit and slashing wages....Autonation preaches about ethics but has none whatsoever. Work until you die, 8 days a week if they could do it to you!! They'd rather spend money on lawyers than doing whats right to their employees or customers!! Greed, and profit are the only thing that drives this business. Autonation-Destroying the industry one day at a time. Can't work anywhere else becuase they make back-door deals with other local dealerships not to hire their employees.Well, you have a job don't you? That's what you'll hear when you mention dirty words to your management team when you ask about taboo topics such as a cost of living raise.

Pros

I love the sales process they have for customers to buy a new or pre-owned vehicles,is very different than a traditional dealership or internet department. I was impress by the relax environment and willingness to help you succeed at your job.The pay structure is decent and always have incentives going to motivate you.They make you feel welcome to your new job and sincerely make feel at home. And they always have some potluck at work or get together outside the job site.

Cons

The training is very long., 3 weeks and can not go on the floor live until you complete the training. You also have to work every other weekend.

Pros

The team truly cares about the product. Teamwork is excellent, the work isn't difficult, as long as the work gets done, people leave you alone.

Cons

Managers have very little respect for the people on the front lines and the job they do. It is very difficult to keep associates motivated when you are being treated poorly on a day to day basis. Most people are looking for work outside the organization despite the fact that they genuinely like most aspects of their job.
