Pros

Decent wages and a great GM at the dealership.

Cons

Upper management did not have a clue. They are so focused on bottom line they neglect their most important asset.......the employees!! Micromanagement would be an understatement. If they would trust the GM and allow them to do their job Sonic would be a greater attraction to top rate employees. Employee turnover is over the top for the very reasons I have stated, Local managers are nothing more than "yes men". Sonic has dealerships all over the country, but think they can all be run the same. That is why they need to allow local GMs to manage the dealerhip in a way to blend with the local invironment.

Pros

Pay was decent for the work

Cons

Did not feel valued as an employee. Felt discriminated against for my age. Management showed favoritism towards certain employees of certain ages if their interests were similar to the general sales managers and those employees received special treatment
