Pros

Decent benefits, annual check based of tenure, good market presence, that's about the best part of autonation. Not a lot of great things to speak of.

Cons

Schedule is worse than typical car business including being open on Easter Sunday. Lowest pay plan for both mgrs and sales associates, virtually no growth opportunity as they hire from outside first. 90% of the time openings are filled prior to posting the job. The compórtate office is full of people that have never worked in the stores and have no idea how their new programs will impact the business and employees. Terrible communication and no consistency in policy Things change from day to day or depending on who the GM or market president is.
