Pros

Great Starting pay, I made 30,000 base and made 45,000 my first year. I worked with a great team. I really liked the nice family feel. It felt like having my own business. I made some real connections with customers. I also really liked test driving cars, I got experience with so many different types of makes and models.

Cons

Long hrs. Sometimes I would work bell to bell during tax season 9-9. Or I would be at work until 11-12 at night closing a tough deal. Some customers were very unprepared to by cars. I had to reminded them to bring their driver's lic. Drive time has super high payments and high interest rates. It makes closing cars really hard. After working there for 2 1/2 years I was laid off. They called me in on my day off and made me wait for 2 hrs before I was laid off and given my severance check. It was sad and very deeming and honestly made me loose so much trust in companies. Also there was lost of drama at the store over splitting deals. If you sell cars they treat you great. If you don't produce you will be treated poorly.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
