Great Intentions, Significant Areas to Improve

Pros

- Solid amount of autonomy (this isn't a "If you're in at 9:01 AM, you're late" culture) - Decent pay, 401K matching, annual bonus - Langley Steinert, Jason Trevisan, and Sam Zales are a great example of a power-trio where the top leaders in the company work closely with those who excel in ways they may not. They all have different styles and together represent well-rounded leadership that's approachable, motivating, and highly respectable. (Another shout out to Sam Zales knowing everyone's names....this means a hell of a lot to everyone!)

Cons

It's great that CarGurus boosts their employees internally, but because of this, lower management is not up-to-par in terms of training and experience. While formal leadership training is great, my suggestion is to make sure that mid-level managers are fully prepared to be coaches to the lower-level managers that they oversee. If a manager doesn't feel like they themselves have a readily-present and involved supervisor, no amount of formal training is going to teach them what they need to know. Keep investing in those who lead by example and inspire those around them.

Pros

* Full autonomy to run my book of business as I see fit * Trust from our manager * Great AM support * A company who's starting to grow very rapidly and outperform other publishers * Good pay

Cons

* Certain support teams we rely on don't have accountability and are protected when mistakes are made * Some of CG's mentality is to not change certain parts of the business until we absolutely have to
