Pros

Some nice reps and really nice trainers. Some of the other reps are amazing! When you travel (which is 2-4 times a month) they make sure you eat a lot. Some collections reps are super awesome and helpful. working from home is nice.

Cons

only certain reps get certain territories. the really good territories go to very specific 'types" of reps, seniority is completely overlooked for "certain type" reps. those reps are usually not sales people, never been in sales, do not know the auto industry...however they match the "type". sad but true. management has no rules to follow, so everything goes. what makes sense in real life is not happening with this management. The pay plan is always changing (2-3 times a year) it always is not in your favor. What i realized is there are 500 ways to fire you and not one reason to tell the truth (TTT) the slogan they tout. If you tell the truth no one listens actually no one cares.

Pros

good comp plan and benefits, good people all around, interesting and challenging work

Cons

some execs not big on promotions and recognition, have attitude that employees are lucky to have a job, very different cultures between departments and not a lot of collaboration between some of the execs, the newer crop of exec leadership in PM, Sales and Ops seems to be more innovative than the older execs (who may be waiting to cash in on their stock and don't want to make risky moves in fear of tipping the cash cow)
