Pros

For such a large corporation, important decisions are made quickly without much back-and-forth. The people I've worked with are smart and great at their jobs. The corporate culture encourages sharing new ideas that will ultimately benefit Group 1's dealers. Overall vibe in the corporate office is upbeat and supportive.

Cons

Can't think of any cons.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. It genuinely made our day to read. Hearing that the culture feels upbeat and supportive, and that sharing new ideas is encouraged, means a lot, because that spirit of teamwork and open collaboration is exactly what we work to build. It's also great to know the people around you are smart and great at what they do. We're glad you're part of the team, and we're grateful to have you helping move Group 1 forward.

Pros

I got nothing. I wish i could tell you something good but honestly your treated like TRASH by managers by the higher ups its sad really!!!!!

Cons

pay sucks / management is awful / they are not about there employees at all i have watched more people come and go some with in days of starting some that have been there for years all leaving for all the same reasons. They treat the employees like dirt they don't higher from with in. there is no room to move up and good luck getting a raise of any kind. after 6 years I'm still under paid and over worked. they talk down to you. the accounting team is OMFG awful they make you do the same job over and over. They don't train and don't offer any help of any kind. i could go on and on but what you need to know is DONT WORK FOR IRA OR GROUP1 THEY LIE TO YOU TO GET YOU IN PROMISE ALL THIS MONEY AND THEN YOU GET YOUR CHECK AND ITS NOTHING LIKE YOU WERE PROMISED. BEST ADVISE I CAN GIVE IS RUN!!!! THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER DEALERS TO WORK FOR THAT TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Pros

Very little to 0 micromanagement, very flexible schedule

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment, manager talks to employees like they’re illiterate. Lots of gossiping that is started and led by the “team leads”, lots of favoritism. Half of the GAs in the department don’t even have an accounting degree. Expect to work 50-60 hrs during close out and get no compensation for it. HIGH turnover, always feels like they’re under staffed but that’s bc they hire 1 new person and 2 leave every single month. Just stay away from this company.
