Pros

You get to drive new cars and the work load is light and at the end of the day I was never stressed out. You also get a paycheck, but it ends up barely paying the bills because they never deliver on incentives like rewards from winning local and regional contests, bonuses from your sales are not paid out correctly if you are lucky enough to get them and they promise you monthly bonuses from the revenue that the store brings in but then never give it to you.

Cons

Horrible HR Business partners in the West Central Region Office, they give no support to their employees, even when an employee brings to their attention that they are being discriminated against by the employees at bodyshop that they work with because of their gender. Instead of fixing the problem and dealing with the discrimination they will force you to work under those conditions. When you notify them of your concerns they go from sending you letters commending you on your excellent unparalled performance to giving you a letter saying that they are letting you go based on unfounded acusations. Without even paying them the bonuses they earned in the months prior or giving them the prizes they earned from the contests they won.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
