Pros

Decent salary for the area Food on random events, bagel Thursdays

Cons

If you make suggestions in an attempt to change the culture, you get blackballed. A giant call center - feels very much like a dead-end job, but good if you have no aspirations to move around. If you don't participate in outside work related functions, your bosses may look to weed you out. Very much a participant in favoritism - creates a hostile environment for you to thrive. Create scenarios where you can't win (at least in my department) and then force you out (I debated going to a lawyer, however I'd prefer to just not think of this place in general) Team members in my department, with the exception of maybe ... 3? were all snakes. It was shocking. One of the reasons I almost called my lawyer, due to the BS

Pros

Met some absolutely lovely people, was excited to work for previous management when hired

Cons

Recently, Auto/Mate was acquired by a much, much larger company called DealerSocket. While they've done everything they can to say nothing will change, unfortunately I don't believe you spend the (rumored) kind of money DS did to not make changes. This was a once fun, family-like company that will soon be wrung of all it's charms in place of a much more sterile, corporate approach. After reading most of the reviews, I can vouch for a few things. There are a lot of people at this company who have been doing what they do for a very long time. I think there is going to be reckoning of old school seniority meeting new school "what have you done for me lately" approach that values productivity over all other metrics. The Auto/Mate of the last 30 years or so is no longer what you will be applying to or seeing reviews of. Going forward, I don't know how many of these testimonials really apply. It has become a different company, and one I wish I was made aware of prior to joining the company.
