Pros

There used to be a ton of Pros. It was a great environment that was very profitable and fun, but we worked hard because we wanted to. We are able to hire our store teams and leaders with minimal disruption.

Cons

Nobody in senior leadership knows anything about this business anymore. I am NOT a "car guy" but I work hard to understand the industry we are in. We are being micro managed down to the hour now leadership. Talk out of both sides of their mouth. "Run your business". "Run your business only this way" We are failing terribly and it is a shame. They have let people go which I understand when you are not making targets but STOP hiring VP's in corporate and sending emails bragging about it. Terrible for moral.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
