Poor Leadership

Pros

People, pay, benefits, perks, are wonderful

Cons

Leadership has zero vision or business plan. They throw spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks and have no loyalty to the business, the board, employees, or shareholders. It's an entire team from a failed company Leaf Group who can't figure out how to grow revenue and so instead focus on removing headcount to improve EBITDA margins. They are also extreme micromanagers who do not value employee work-life-balance which I believe is a mechanism to make themselves feel competent given their extremely poor performance as an executive team, and to cast blame on others. They have essentially laid off almost every smart, talented, and tenured employee. The board is also extremely poor as you can see from the overall stock price over the last 7 years.

Great experience so far

Pros

Great team environment and everyone is really helpful. Great perks and benefits as well. Small team so you don't get lost in the mix or feel like just another number.

Cons

Metrics and schedule adherence standards are a bit high maintenance. Have to be in your position for at least 6 months before you can switch roles. Small team so the workload is a lot sometimes.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. This year we launched our new operating system, which has helped our team members formulate clear goals that set them up, and the organization for success. As part of this new operating system, leaders have started standing team calls with very intentional and clear guidelines for how to structure the calls. Presenting new ideas and formulating solutions are part of the standing agenda for these meetings. Implementing a chat option for rotation is a great idea and we encourage you to share this in your team calls as well. Thank you for sharing your experience and we look forward to hearing more of your feedback as you continue your employee experience at TrueCar.

Pros

I love the flexible schedule working for TrueCar! It is really nice to be able to spend time with my family and be able to have weekends off. I also love the friendly staff and support system that TrueCar has to offer. Coming from the retail side of the dealership, it is a night and day difference.

Cons

No complaints! Everything is amazing so far.
