Pros

They provide source of income and decent benefits.

Cons

The training and onboarding process was awful. There were no real standard of work or processes in place to help things wrong smoothly. Everyday is a complete circus full of chaos. There are not much advancement opportunities if you are working in the dealership. The management did not do a good job in managing or leading. Effective communication is definitely NOT what Sonic Automotive enforces. Most importantly, NO WORK LIFE BALANCE --- This came out of my manager's mouth!

Pros

Benefits start the day you're hired, no probation period

Cons

Compensations, bonuses, management team needs to be retrained, sales goals are at time unattainable because the phones aren't ringing. The sales goals come out of thin air, there is no logic to how the goals are formed.
