Good place for experienced salespeople

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most existing sales staff are well experienced veterans with ten or more years of experience. Technicians and management are also well experienced and the team work between departments is refreshing.

Cons

Management is unforgiving toward prospective employees with little or no experience. As with all other vehicle sales jobs every salesperson must maintain a rather tough quota to retain employment.

Pros

There is plenty of opportunity for advancement if your one of the Good Ol' Boys. Lots of incompetent middle management.

Cons

Good Ol' Boys club. If you're not part of them, you're treated as an outsider.
