Pros

The only reason I work here is because of the commute.

Cons

They just cut the pay plan by saying they are “increasing our chances to make money” when in fact we are averaging between $800-$1200 PVR on used cars but we have a $500 used car pack so that 30% commission isn’t going to pay out over the standard $200 mini. Forget about new cars because every general manager is so focused on volume and making our reports look good to the RODM, MP, and RP. They constantly screw up spiffs and are never paid on time which leads to all the sales staff becoming very disgruntled because it make take 2 months. The previous pay plan was actually decent and worth sticking around for but stores are losing people left and right as high as 5-6 people a month right now.
