Not paid enough for what we do

Pros

Great coworkers. Feeling out all the various new cars coming into inventory.

Cons

Micro-Managed is an understatement. Constant criticism from management. Underpaid. Require multiple unpaid morning huddles each week. Sales Managers giving away deals to meet budget. The amount of work does not reflect in the pay that we make.

Pros

Good business culture with high respect and integrity by associates Unbelievable growth potential

Cons

Pay scale is very behind for Sales Managers considering their growing responsibility for resolving all customer issues, unrealistic sales development programs, and ultimate accountability for security of a multi-million dollar inventory every night. At-risk compensation component is very disproportionate.

Pros

Good atmosphere and pay. Good discounts on parts and tires etc. Get to check out and drive some interesting cars.

Cons

Management tries to implement to much at once. Certain groups of people can back stab you if you are not careful. Those same people are also the ones that management bends over for.
