      Thank you for the review on the structure of our pay plan. This is valuable insight for us, as we continue to grow as a company and determine a pay plan style that works for all of our employees. It is upsetting to hear and we apologize that you believe AutoNation is no longer a self-starter environment. We want to empower all of our team members with new opportunities, growth within the company, as well as an environment in which you can work at your own pace. We will take this information into account as we move forward and truly appreciate your honest feedback.

      Pros

      People you work with are great. My service manager and director are top notch.

      Cons

      I just can't get over hourly pay and medical. No raises for hourly workers. They are the worst I've ever seen. Also promotions are not handed out to workers who have tenure or work their butts off. It's dependent on whoever is manager and how well you can cater to them. So if you take manager out for drinks and do personal favors for them, you get a promotion and the GM is none the wiser as he has more important things to do than to monitor his own dealership like attend conferences in Vegas etc.
