Pros

You can make decent money working here.

Cons

The culture of this company is terrible. The Ceo's vision vs how to company actually operates is not even close to being inline. Good old boy system.

REMOVE THE DRAW

Pros

Consistent volume and potential to sell if you really push for it. Great colleagues and benefits.

Cons

Though you're in a higher tax bracket, you have the draw during the first pay period of "$1750". If you notice, your draw of that amount won't always be the same every first pay period. You work super hard for the end of the month, your commission pay. You have to gross over $70k and have a good csi just to get above $3k, They then remove the draw ($1750) out of your commission pay on your second paycheck above getting taxed. This is Autonation's way of cheaping out of your paycheck as an advisor. If you could get paid your hourly for the first half of the month and then get paid your commission at the end of the month without the draw, it would be a great job!
