Pros

Fairly good culture, good people, host contests for free lunches, and extra cash. Rotating driver for managers. In rare occasions, able to take company car out of town. The competitive base salary for SA's is a good start depending on your region.

Cons

An abundance of issues with vehicles, little to no work-life balance for most Managers, space for promotion is minuscule due to lack of opportunities within the region. Have some of the same bad habits most older companies struggle with, hire intelligent employees and often treat them as if the employees can't read between the lines. The line of ethics from positions above the dealership level is often blurred when referring to new company objective or profit. Often overwork managers, especially when dealerships in the area are short-staffed. Some managers go weeks and are only able to see their families for a few hours. This will diminish productivity. There's isn't a person on earth that will continue to do that forever. Supervisor and company seem out of touch with the real-life human experience of its employees. Quality of the product is decreasing due to increased focus on profit. Realism usually is set aside in any sales position.

Pros

- Considering that the company is in the car sales industry it does try to provide work-life balance for staff. - When I was there the environment was often upbeat and the company encouraged a team environment where everyone worked together instead of being cutthroat. - The pay was fairly good considering that you have a base salary that you can count on and commission added on to that. - The company does believe in promoting from within, although it is often tainted with being a popularity contest in some cases.

Cons

- Commission structure could have been more lucrative. - There can tend to be long hours. - Promotions can can be limited in major areas such as Atlanta, but I often saw where the most popular person can be promoted over someone that is just as if not more deserving.
