Great engineering culture, great company to be part of.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The engineering culture is great. Team sizes seem sufficient; neither too small nor too large. We have a good balance of leads, product representatives, and engineers to be effective. Cross-team collaboration is very open and encouraged.

Cons

There are several legacy projects and old tech stacks/frameworks still being used. There are few, if any, opportunities to work on a product of massive scale. Depending on your preferences, this could be an issue as an engineer trying to build a specific background/skillset.

Will be stuck selling below subpar vehicles with low base, expected no extra pay OT

Ceg

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers were actually really helpful. Helped me out a lot more than the manager would ever.

Cons

Essentially making 100+ dials everyday going through recycled pipelines attempting to sell below subpar vehicles with really high APR - only offered low base, NO COMMISSION, only team-based bonus every month which is quite literally is stupid. Expected to do OT almost daily with no extra pay. And absolutely no support running around the store when there’s 3-4 of you in the whole store max. Store manager would micromanages you as well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback as a CEG. We're glad to hear that your co-workers were supportive and helpful during your time here. As a company, we believe in carpooling to a shared destination - it's one of our core values. Because of this, we switched to a team-based commission to provide a pressure-free sales experience for our customers and a non-competitive sales environment for our employees. We want our employees to work together as a team, not against each other. This is also why we provide a base salary. Thank you for sharing your experience, we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

No respect for life outside work

Technician

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay & convenient location

Cons

Unrealistic quotas handed down from corporate were never able to be met, so we'd be punished by having mandatory overtime almost every Saturday. They advertise as no weekends, lol. Extremely strict about attendance, have this bizarre point system they use to push people they don't like out.
