      Pros

      Great people, always room for advancement

      Cons

      never had anything bad to say about autonation until a new controller was hired and after a certain incident, i was the only one who was written up and eventually she fired me and brought in someone from her other store to replace me for less money.

      They are killing the car business as it just keeps getting worse and worse to work here.

      Pros

      The only reason I work here is because of the commute.

      Cons

      They just cut the pay plan by saying they are “increasing our chances to make money” when in fact we are averaging between $800-$1200 PVR on used cars but we have a $500 used car pack so that 30% commission isn’t going to pay out over the standard $200 mini. Forget about new cars because every general manager is so focused on volume and making our reports look good to the RODM, MP, and RP. They constantly screw up spiffs and are never paid on time which leads to all the sales staff becoming very disgruntled because it make take 2 months. The previous pay plan was actually decent and worth sticking around for but stores are losing people left and right as high as 5-6 people a month right now.

      Pros

      It's a way to pay some of your bills. It's good if you want to gain experience because if you have a pulse and can breathe on your own, you're hired.

      Cons

      You are nothing but a number. A statistic. A means to an end. You are a warm body to fill a position so the managers can live a better lifestyle.
