Pros

Great bonus plan. Room to advance. Some GMs actaully care about developing the staff. A FEW good DMs.

Cons

DMs and Corporate seem to play by different rules. "We will never sacrifice long term profitability for short term gain" ... except with the greedy DMs that care only about bonus. MUST drink the kool aid to succeed. If you aren't "one of the guys" you will be pushed out. HR is over the top nuts with taking the side of the employee (again, unless you are one of the favorites). Poor support from the DMs.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
