Great culture-supbar pay

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is really great Easy workload Fun if you like cars Good benefits

Cons

Pay is below average. Expect $18 an hour average starting in sales. If your good you might hit 60k for a year. If your really good and live at the store you might Crack 100. Work life balance is rough. Expect to be called on your day off. Expect to work weekends. And if you want to make money Expect to come in on your off hours.

Low Pay

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

They're pretty inclusive which is nice.

Cons

The pay is ridiculous. There is such thing as a quarter deal. You consistently have to dig cars out of the back lot making a customer wait around and nothing is organized back there.
