Pros

good work environment at store level good discount most store managers are nice and treat you fairly company paid ASE testing

Cons

no opportunity for advancement unless your one of the district managers favorites they have a ridiculous points system for attendance which only applys to hourly employees, you will get fired if you get to 12 points and this only applys to hourly employees salaried employees which is store manager ad up dont get points so they can come and go as they please and call out and they will promote someone to store manager who dosnt know a thing about cars and isnt even ASE certified and has only been with the company for a year or two and they also have way too many paper reports you dont get recognised for good performance and sales but upper management will waste no time calling you out if you have poor performance and sales they have the checkout challenge every month which is usually a stupid item that no one needs or wants but we have to try to sell it to every customer that comes to the counter its just very corporate and they do not care about their employees we are just a number to them and we are all expedable and every quarter they release a news letter about the billions of dollars they made the last quarter yet they give hourly employees a raise once a year which is usually about 25-40 cents

Pros

Great company for growth and a "corporate culture" atmosphere. Clear and defined chain of command and competent leadership at the top.

Cons

Widely varied pay structure for managers based on a "you get what you can get" negotiation at the front end rather than set guidelines for middle management pay. Unusually high volume of paperwork for daily and weekly review limiting the time a manager has to actually drive marketing and sales. Little opportunity for corporate advancement communicated from the beginning.
