More of a career than a job.

Pros

There are many advancement opportunities but you will have to move. The benefits package is really good offering dental, medical, vision, and more. Few people have to work late making for a decent work/life balance. Management is forgiving of mistakes if you don't repeat the same ones. Training is excellent. Managers and most co-workers are easy to get along with. Recognition is given for great performance. Uniforms are comfortable and casual.

Cons

Schedule isn't flexible. Hours vary from week to week and day to day. There is high turnover in sales department. Some co-workers can be a challenge to get along with but that is to be expected anywhere. If you are one of the people staying late it can be unknown as to what time you will get to leave. Sometimes a department can get undermanned for the amount of work that needs to be done.

Pros

You have the opportunity to make a lot of money in the sales position you just have to work hard.

Cons

Hours can be pretty long an your schedule is random unless you can reach a higher sales keel which allows you to create your own schedule. Pay per car could be higher. They finally raised it $10 after over ten years of no raise.
