Pros

Good Benefits and that about it.

Cons

Long hours. Management that does not care. Management constantly micromanaging. Only problem is they are clueless. They could not sell a car in today's environment if their life depended on it. Low pay. Cult.

Pros

In California, base pay of $12/hr Good people work there

Cons

Way too many sales consultants for number of cars sold, leads to lack of $ for consultants Major emphasis on their proprietary sales process Management has a caring face, but is an inadequate support group Very concerned with bottom line, unless you're hired into the business office, inventory, buying office or as a mechanic, your ability to advance or change positions is greatly handicapped
