Pros

I enjoyed working with my coworkers, off most weekends but still had to work one Saturday a month.

Cons

Capped commission, they kept changing their payouts and goals every single month, after a while they made it a team bonus and not individual which continually raising the car rate which stopped people from getting their commission/bonus.

Pros

reasonable starting salary given the position fun work environment with some great people short learning curve (simple operating system and process) opportunity for good commission if you can call and sell, and your team can close

Cons

work life balance, especially if you have kids is impossible tax season hours are absolutely insane, 11 hour shifts are the norm, but you could be at the dealership 2 hours after close bc the process takes 3 hours, and you never get a full weekend or two days in a row off. lunch doesn't exist. you might get 5 minutes to scarf down fast food in the break room. no formal training at all. you have to hope you have good mentors in the dealership youre hired. promotions - I have 2 ssa's in my dealership and another sa that turned down ssa because he has to stay local. being promoted is only an option for those willing to move just about anywhere, especially at the sales manager level. antiquated technology and my location is run down. in the end this is simply not a company for those with family. awesome opportunity for someone fresh out of college who is good with people and motivated, you could be a GM in no time if you're willing to relocate.

Thank you for your comments. Just as most businesses have busy seasons, tax season is our busiest time of the year. We definitely understand having to put in longer hours, especially on the weekends, which is why we encourage employees to utilize our great PTO plan. Definitely take that important time with friends and family to have some fun.

Pros

Great Pay, team environment awesome Ceo. Fast paced rewarding career.

Cons

Demanding hours to be successful, very low tolerance for mistakes. I have seen a lot of people lose their job over one bad decision.
