Pros

Offers 401-k to part timers but will not allow health care even though our Government is pushing health care across the country.

Cons

Over staffed with salespeople. LGM blames corporate but hey, it's his store! Why hire more salespeople but the support staff remains fairly flat. To many salespeople makes each salesperson get a smaller paycheck . . .but HEY! He loves us! LOL

Good for hourly, bad for management

Pros

Hourly associates are treated decently. They have good benefits (health / dental / vision, 401k) and pretty good job security. You will get associate purchasing discounts on vehicles / parts / service.

Cons

The treatment that hired on department managers receive depends on whether or not you are friends with a higher up. If you are not friends with someone high up on the food chain, they will make your life difficult.
