Pros

8hr work day., 5 day work schedule hourly pay no overtime will scream if you have even a minute of O/T

Cons

Ultra micro managing and poor at doing that, always trying to and doing so, getting rid of older aged employees, not following the Sonic Playbook and doing what they want not what Sonic wants, their policies change like the wind, no consistency, good ole boy mentality

Pros

Sonic wants what is best for their associates. Sonic is willing to take suggestions and criticism. Sonic wants all associates to better themselves because they believe it will also better the company. Competitive pay for position for the local market. Sonic is always evolving to better position itself at the top of the automotive retail market. The changes that are made come with extensive research and are calculated to make the associates and Sonic more money. Growth and potential are possible within Sonic as well due to many different locations and positions available.

Cons

Sonic is not just in the automotive industry but also in the retail industry. That can relate to longer hours at work to satisfy the demands of customers.

Pros

While there was the promise of making up to 6-figures and freedom of schedule, that wasn't the case. It was nice to meet new people everyday, though.

Cons

The promises of the position were not delivered. There was never an opportunity to earn commission because of management, and the "free schedule" ended up being 12hr days 6, sometimes 7 days a week.
