Pros

If you stay long enough, you will make many new friends with all of the sales associates who will come and go.

Cons

Poor pay plan; Unrealistic expectations; Long hours; Constantly trying to find new ways of taking the little money they actually pay; No respect from management team; Managers have limited management skills, but were probably good car salesmen and connections to be promoted; this list could go on for some time.

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.
