Pros

They know how to pick good people. They can run 8 stores with 36 buyers. You can now work remotely, that is you can pt money on cars from other stores.

Cons

Restructuring to smaller staff levels. Change in structure does not allow for growth. Went in expecting to become a Senior Buyer in 2-3 years. Left when they said they our focus was changing to offsite buying and cross functional. The writing was and is on the wall.

Pros

Everyday presents new customers to deal with, decent benefits

Cons

Awful scheduling with no say in days off unless in "Presidents Club" which could take a year or more to get, All control is in the managers hands, Getting time off can be like pulling teeth and often times it will only be aproveed if you have good standing with the managers, the worst of it has to be the pressure to always be closing....Sure it is a low pressure environment but if you fall below expectations which are already too high you will hate your life.
