Pros

Competitive Salary, Retail hours let you come in late enough in the morning and leave early enough in the evening to have an outside life, Overall a fun work environment with monthly national and local sales contests, Great place for fresh grads to quickly gain management experience.

Cons

The initial training is lousy even though the company invests a great amount of money in travel/hotel/food for a 2-3 week training period. The company fast-tracks employees into management which is a good thing; however, because of this, Senior Management is "green", not having enough solid experience under their belts to know how to effectively manage employees and the dealership.

Pros

An engaging interview process and a few reasonable managers willing to interpret policies ju'diciously.

Cons

Training is virtually nonexistent company wide. An atmosphere of impatience is the norm at the Phoenix IC. One of the senior managers there is reputed to be easily frustrated and despite his reputation continues to be promoted. An automated buzzer alerts everyone to the start time signifying when employees are to punch in at: break, lunch and the end of the day adding to the already negative atmosphere absolute drudgery. Safety policies are more often than not reactive which seeminly counter the principles of the lean manufacturing model claimed. Employee evaluations and feedback are sporadic at best. Given all these irritants: dangerous chemical exposure with minimal safety precautions, a negative atmosphere, the confusing complexity of the HR website; ADP, the myriad of user names and passwords to navigate through the company, virtually no protection from the elements especially a the Phoenix IC, a dog eat dog company culture, and nearly minimum wage for the Detail department or anyone to humble to blow their own horn when health issues psychological or physical inevitably result calling off more than 5 times in a 6 month periord is cause for termination. The attendance policy is simply abusive.
