Pros

Excellent company to work for if you are ambitious and want to learn everyday. While the company does have its challenges and shortcomings, it's been the most responsive company I've ever seen in terms of finding solutions and fixing issues to sell more cars. The career growth is off the charts if you buckle down and work hard. The mentorships and values you learn are hard to duplicate at other companies. Very laid back culture. Not very political at all compared to other companies. Everyone is on the same team all the way from the bottom to the CEO himself. Free lunches and extra bonuses make me feel appreciated. Even when things don't go as planned you can always pick up the phone for support and guidance from people who genuinely care about you and your team's success.

Cons

The technology used in retail is a bit dated and not user friendly. I may be a bit biased but I would like us to move to Apple systems. There have been improvements over time but I find myself having to be mindful of how many programs and reports I have open while performing daily tasks.

Pros

Pay is decent, location, Benefits you get to build your own business creating a image for yourself and the brand

Cons

Life balance during tax season is crazy. You have to work 10-12 hours every day and your salary so there is no overtime pay.

We hear you on the tax season craziness - stay tuned for updates to scheduling for Sales Advisors after this year's tax season is over. We've been piloting some changes to make scheduling more flexible and hope this improves your outlook on the company. As always, chat with your GM or call our Speak Up line if you have any concerns or suggestions.
