      Pros

      Great benefits, energetic people, lots of opportunity for growth, lots of opportunities to learn via internal training offered weekly at no costs. A lead from where you are type of environment where your input is always heard. Rapidly growing organization means plenty of room to grow current roles as well as find new roles. A company that people actually retire from without being terminated months before retirement! A great place to start and finish your professional career.

      Cons

      Although input is heard, decisions that have negative impacts are made daily by leadership who kind of figure it out as they go. Too many managers with no formal training in their areas who continue to figure it out as they go. The transparency boasted by the company has not proven to be true in all areas.

      Pros

      Home Office, Flexibility, Decent Pay

      Cons

      High pressure sales. If you miss your quota be prepared to be contacted by HR. Cancellations count against your paycheck and goals, even if the dealership has gone out of business. Success is based on your territory and how long it's been left unattended. Limited number of prospects, selling to the same dealers over and over again. Opportunities eventually tap out. Autotrader has a solid product mix that has priced itself out of the market. Competitors offering just as effective or better digital advertising at lower prices.
