Pros

Some very good management level employees with a long history with the company, which gives the sense that it is possible to build a career out of almost any position there. Management is also very open with staff about most changes to policies and feedback from staff seems to be valued. Corporate focus is on employee experience.

Cons

Scheduling is not always the best, but it doesn't seem unfair - just questionably planned sometimes, i.e. too many sales associates scheduled on Sundays at opening. Sales incentive goals are sporadic. Sometimes they are very good and sometimes they are barely worth the extra effort.

Pros

Good company that treats you well. Learn new things and interact with different departments everyday. Learn a lot about cars. Manager level. People at the company are good.

Cons

High stress job; more physically than mentally. On your feet and sometimes in the elements for most of the day. Salary is on the lower side of the industry.
