Pros

I always knew Checkered Flag was a different type of car dealer. When I got hired to come work with Checkered Flag I was amazed by their cutting edge facilities and willingness to embrace a changing business environment. It is no free lunch but if you are willing to show up and listen this company can really teach you a lot about business! The managers are very loyal and care about their employees. I definitely feel like the opportunities are endless here and am glad I choose Checkered Flag over their competition! New car sales is negotiation free which makes for a much more simplistic and painless car buying transaction which also allows for a PREDICTABLE SCHEDULE! If you are looking for sales/business experience I would be hard pressed to suggest a different business.

Cons

This is car dealership so be prepared to interact with a lot of different personality types. For the most part the other associates are remarkable, but I have found there a few I just don't see eye to eye with. This is normal for any large business environment and I have to admit this is a very minor issue compared with what I have been furnished by being employed here.

Pros

Pay for training (then you want to leave)

Cons

Treated as a peon, management thinks everyone who isn't in an office is disposable. Overall attitude toward employees is poor. Company states "We are here to take care of the customers" which I agree with. However, when decisions to recommend things on cars that are not in the customers best interest, I spoke up and said that we should not be doing these things. I was promptly told, "if I don't like it than I should leave" (this was spoken by my immediate manager and the VP) Checkered flag does not take care of the customers, they only care about taking their money. Checkered flag does not care about it's employees, only about how many hours we can work for them and how much money we can make them. Long and the short of it, If you want to work for a company that only cares about making money and not paying you, then this is your place!
