Pros

Coverage is provided when needed.

Cons

Time off: I was asked to prove a deceased family member was actually my family member after all necessary documentation for time off was submitted. Never had I experienced an extreme request, the company did not want to provide compensation for time off and wanted to look for a reason to end employment constantly. The request was during office hours, this affected my performance due to the stress. Acknowledgment: Everyone else’s yearly work anniversary was acknowledged expect mine. There was a lot of favoritism, mistakes made by other teammates had a blind eye turned while mine was constantly looked over. Sick Time: I took a lot of sick time off due to medical conditions, I was looked down on for it. Sympathy was never shown by the managers. Discipline was shown instead.

Pros

Easy to see how to maximize your pay Longevity bonuses Good 401k and matching The possibility of making good money

Cons

Get used to pay plan changes, the goal always seems to not let associates make too much? Management is constantly under pressure from the top, and not in a good way. AN is all about reports and spreadsheets. If certain boxes and numbers don't look good compared to other stores, drastic changes will be made that trickle down to make your job difficult to enjoy or do properly often - get used to this. I've seen and been told to stoop to certain levels to achieve a certain outcome at the cost of the customer to make the store/management look better on a spreadsheet. Instead of guidance and training, it's simply being told "this must happen" with the threat of your day off being forfieted. Speaking of which, your day off must often be earned by selling enough certain services/products. Very long hours (especially if you don't "earn" your day off) 110 to 145 hours every 2 weeks. If you can put up with these things, you can make good money and still be happy.

We appreciate your feedback on your position as a Service Advisor. Here at AutoNation, some long hours are expected and required; but should not be recurring daily. We appreciate the time and work that you put in here at AutoNation. We are constantly looking to our Associates to help us create a better employee experience, and truly appreciate your feedback.
