Pros

I have been at CarGurus for a couple of years and work as a Regional Sales Director in Dallas Texas. The role is challenging but very rewarding and I am part of a great team. I have a lot of freedom to manage my territory and even though I work alone, I am well supported. Our inside account managers and sales team have my back and I know I can always count on my fellow field team members. At CarGurus we work hard but the company rewards us with great benefits, compensation, opportunity and perks.

Cons

Things change fast at CarGurus. If you aren't comfortable with change this may not be the place for you.
