Pros

There are unfortunately no pros of being a technician at this corporation when compared to other OEM dealers.

Cons

Group1 is a publicly traded company, this means they are only concerned with their bottom line. High paying jobs are funneled to low pay techs in order to bump up effective labor rate. When the stock price goes down they terminate people. There are an intense number of corporate policies and rules that you would not otherwise find elsewhere, that make your life as a technician harder, these policies are also set by people with 0 experience in the field. Everybody is paid just enough to survive, I have seen multiple techs with families that need to have a roommate to get by. There are so many terrible policies that all of the good technicians ultimately left for the most part. This company is just as bad if not worse than automation or lithia. Company advertises a 4 day work week an then makes you work 5-6. DO NOT WORK FOR GROUP 1

Group 1 Automotive Response

Thank you for taking the time to lay out your perspective in such detail, and for the years you spent as a technician with us. We hear the concerns you've raised about pay, scheduling, and the policies that shape the day-to-day for our techs. Professionalism, to us, means building a workplace where skilled people are supported and fairly recognized for demanding work, and that's a standard we hold ourselves accountable to. While we can't speak to the specifics of any one experience, feedback like yours is something we take seriously as we keep working to do right by our technicians. We wish you all the best in your next role.
