It's has its ups and downs.

Pros

Employee discount on automotive services.

Cons

Poor communication within certain departments. Issues that need to be addressed by management are often pushed to the side. Employee recognization and appreciation is low. There is a lack of kindness and caring, and an abundance of harrasment and disrespect between co-workers in certain departments.

Pros

My favorite things is the family atmosphere. Autonation really tries to help you balance work and life. The pay is very competitive. They listen to my suggestions for new equipment, and Autonation is willing to spend money on new technology.The new technology especially in the collision and repair industry really helps us be more efficient and satisfy our customer needs. I am a manager and truly have some great associates that work for me.

Cons

The long hours sometimes are hard on my family. The waiting period for benefits is kind of long. I hope there will be changes to that as soon as the up coming year. Those are really the only 2 cons of working here. The long hours comes with the industry, and the waiting period I am not sure is industry wide or not.

Pros

AutoNation provides their employees great benefits such as 401k, medical, longevity bonus, Vacation Pay, etc. My Customer Care Director is a straight shooter so you always know exactly what's expected of you and receive accolades with your successes.

Cons

I don't really have any cons. AutoNation is a good company to work for. I've seen people leave, but they always end up coming back. We do work long hours; however that is to be expected in the Automotive Industry.
