      Poor Leadership Has Driven Company Down

      Pros

      Field sales offers flexibility to work from home. If you can hit a lucky sales cycle or get handed good groups, you can make a decent check.

      Cons

      Poor management top down. The changes in leadership have not been positive and it is impacting morale, client relationships, and pay. Questionable hiring decisions at sales vp level (pretty weak field) has trickled to management level.

      Used to be a GREAT place to work

      Pros

      Former culture was exciting, empowering, transparent, enticing, of change and innovative plus was employee friendly. The employees grew a huge viable business from nothing but a dream and a battle cry! The employees were the secret sauce and put themselves and their futures on the line to make Autotrader the success it is.

      Cons

      Hard to find leaders any more within the executive team willing to speak up, as most have left the company (either forced out or willingly left) Current culture is a corporation of secrets, a closed door society of a very special group of ego driven executives who believe they can make issues go away with the corporation's money. During the past couple of years of change at Autotrader, the culture was lost, the drive went astray, the vision was blurred
