Pros

Great Starting pay, I made 30,000 base and made 45,000 my first year. I worked with a great team. I really liked the nice family feel. It felt like having my own business. I made some real connections with customers. I also really liked test driving cars, I got experience with so many different types of makes and models.

Cons

Long hrs. Sometimes I would work bell to bell during tax season 9-9. Or I would be at work until 11-12 at night closing a tough deal. Some customers were very unprepared to by cars. I had to reminded them to bring their driver's lic. Drive time has super high payments and high interest rates. It makes closing cars really hard. After working there for 2 1/2 years I was laid off. They called me in on my day off and made me wait for 2 hrs before I was laid off and given my severance check. It was sad and very deeming and honestly made me loose so much trust in companies. Also there was lost of drama at the store over splitting deals. If you sell cars they treat you great. If you don't produce you will be treated poorly.

Pros

They pay hourly and there is steady work year round. During the buildup to tax season you can get overtime too. You always know what your schedule will be and you always know what your paycheck should be. The health insurance is good and they give out plenty of PTO.

Cons

The inspection centers start work at 6:00 am this may be a pro to some but I'm not a morning person. Also they only do raises once a year, if you get one it isn't much. At least that's what I'm told, I've never got one yet.
