Pros

Great benefits, stock options, flexible hours, holiday pay, employee incentives

Cons

Upper management in a fog, little recognition to employees, all about the numbers, a lot of wasted ideas, poorly implemented sales tactics, corporate acronyms a bit lame, a lot of wasted dollars

Pros

Many of the stores offer a great atmosphere and team to work with. Many of the store level employees enjoy their jobs Fun place to work when you don't have to interact with upper level management

Cons

Upper level management: Set extremely high standards, goals and targets for stores to achieve, but fail to provide adequate support to team members to allow them to achieve and reach goals. Management expects things to get done, but are constantly reducing hours leaving employees overworked, stressed and underpaid. Lack to safety in stores (due to decrease in hours and payroll). Two people on opening and closing shift in small and large/warehouse stores. Biased and unethical human resources department

Pros

Great work life, personal life balance. Advance is not afraid to try something new, never the same ole same ole.

Cons

I think the staffing module should be revisited, Some updates could be done with regards to the information on some cars.
