Pros

A lot of opportunity. They value talent and education. They will give you the tools to get as far as possible but it is up to you to use them.

Cons

Not the best work life balance. Requiring a Bachelors Degree certainly helps them create a foundation for building a very smart company, however not every college grad is going to work 60+ hours a week as a Sales Adviser.

Pros

Decent benefits, some nice co-workers

Cons

Long hours, Managers vs Sales Advisors environment, Selling Overpriced high mileage cars, Having to sell 20+ cars to make decent money. Every year they have been lowering the commissions and keeping the base salary the same. Here's an example of your commission if you sold 15 cars a month: in 2014 you would make $400 less than last year and $700 less than the year before per month. Here's their pay plan: Cars 1-4 is $15 per car(joke), cars 5-8 is $25 per car(another joke), 9-14 is $65 per car(joke three), cars 15-21 is $165(finally a decent commission) 21 and up is $195. Have fun keeping your morale up working a ten+ hour shift when you have to split a $15 commission. Meanwhile mangers work less hours than you do but expect you to come in early and stay late EVERY day. Also they want you to sell all their ancillary products, which is their bread and butter, and you might make $100 at the end of the month if your store sells %100 percent of the cars budgeted. Overall you'll make around 43-48k a year but you'll be working 50+ hours a week and a crappy schedule that always changes. so you'll be making an average of $15 per hour no overtime.
