Pros

Easy Job, business pretty much runs itself if you have established commercial contacts. Great customers on the commercial side to do business with if you are a car guy.

Cons

Management wants you to stay under the radar and sweep problems under the rug rather than bring attention to them. Massive internal theft. Stores in my district ran 50-55K per year in theft and preventable losses without an eyelash batted by corporate. Company as a whole has no real direction on the retail side and does not know how to move forward to increase business and profits. Sort of floundering directionless in regards to retail sales at the moment and trying to bring metric based sales into the company.
