      Great company, terrible, terrible pay plan

      Pros

      Very systematic Decent schedule Room to grow Constant training Managers stand up for their employees Can move to pretty much anywhere in the country

      Cons

      Terrible pay plan for the industry. Bring back the old pay plan or something a salesperson can actually live off of. Especially to compensate for the cost of living in Southern California! Takes forever to accumulate pto. Gives 1 week for the first year where most places give 2 weeks. Don't be so cheap! We make you tons of money!

      Pros

      Base pay, room to move up within the company really fast, great compensation is not in regular sales floor.

      Cons

      Pay plans change from one month to another, corporate buffs always on you about any little thing, higher position than a sales person prepare to work 8:30am to 9,10,11,12 at night.

      Pros

      If you stay long enough, you will make many new friends with all of the sales associates who will come and go.

      Cons

      Poor pay plan; Unrealistic expectations; Long hours; Constantly trying to find new ways of taking the little money they actually pay; No respect from management team; Managers have limited management skills, but were probably good car salesmen and connections to be promoted; this list could go on for some time.
