Pros

Lots of small benefits can be obtained because the company is a large corporation (e.g. cell phone discounts, etc.)

Cons

Corporate does not care about long term employees, in reality. They are content with moving their direction and will mow over anyone in their way. From what i have seen, on site managers are no more than "yes men" who are not allowed to make contextual decisions that would benefit the store or employees.

Pros

Being able to test drive the cars.

Cons

Everything. No training on any of the product knowledge was provided. The only training was on car sales - which the company didn't even pay for. Long hours with commissions only, no assistance from management team to help with sales - all they cared about was hounding the customers until they come in purchase. They have no clue what luxury customer experience is. It was the worst company to ever have worked for, they don't care at all about their employees like they claim.
