Business Outlook

Pros

Autonation is a process driven company. Follow the process while employed and you will gain a whole lot of knowledge and you will truly become a quality seasoned Sales Professional.

Cons

The Company does not adjust store hours to allow employees to have a better quality of life. The hours are long and not necessary. Managers are worked hard and are accountable for more and more responsibilities and are not salaried. Your pay is based on sales performance so you tend to make less and less money every pay period in a tough economy.
