Pros

Great Benefits and great fellow employees

Cons

Low pay and long hours. You only make $150 per car and 1$00 if the customer gets the warranty, and half the time the cust. passes on the warranty. Ive seen many instances where the company made over $8k in profit and still only made 150bucks. Quality of life isnt there. You get a weekend off once every 6weeks and many nights you have too work till 9pm.

Pros

Company diversity policy and mentorship training.

Cons

Excessive micro managing and less than competitive pay scale for Sales Consultants unless you stay in the job for several years. If you are seeking a position with this company, I would recommend applying to be a buyer. They are given management status, get more respect and have more opportunity for pay and advancement.
