Pros

Opportunity to Gain Experience to then go work for a Competitor

Cons

Upper management has no clue what the real issues are with the organization. Work life balance is so-so, but no matter how much you put in or well you do it's MORE MORE MORE.

Pros

New and immaculate facilities, compensation competitive with marketplace, a great comraderie among employees.

Cons

Corporate, shareholder driven mentality resulting in layoffs while expecting others to pick up the slack. A spirit of maximizing assets. I'm repulsed by the term "human capital" as if I'm being amortized like a piece of equipment and discarded at the end of it's useful life. Lack of consistency in company guidelines as they preach integrity yet actions by management sometimes are anything but. If you can BS and produce $$$$ as a manager, no one will question how you do it let alone face any type of discipline. Punishment often dealt dependent on where you fall on the union "totem pole". Ineffective computer systems shared by multiple dealerships causing lack of productivity.

Don't expect much from this company

Pros

It's a job. There's not much of a bright side.

Cons

They promise to their employees and always fail to deliver. They will tell you that you can grow within this company, that is completely untrue. You are not compensated fairly for the work you do. Overload employees with work and refuse to pay accordingly or hire more help.
