Pros

Struggling to answer this in a poaitive manner. They were cooperative on a family emergency. I do believe automation is a good company (benefits, etc.) Just pick the right location.

Cons

I sold 6 cars my first 5 days, however, on the 7th day I was supposed be paid a draw. This went on for three weeks where I couldn't clock in, nor did I get my money until I complained to the manager. Sales manager, g.s.m, payroll, etc....eventually. I was frustrated working for free. I made them a good deal of money yet, I still haven't received a bonus for sales.it's now been over a month.

Pros

The department is work from home.

Cons

They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
