Pros

The sales staff I work with have the same attitude

Cons

Not very transparent with pay. Preach one thing and do another. Management is not very-friendly. Supposedly under the new pay plan there should be no pressure to sell a car. Let me tell you if you dont sell a car you will surely hear about it. If you are selling cars you are the managements best friend, guess what if you're not it is a totally different situation.

We appreciate your feedback on your position as a Sales Associate. Here at AutoNation, some long hours are expected and required; but should not be recurring daily. We do not wish for the requirements of this position to negatively impact our employees’ personal lives, and their overall view of the company. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment with our new pay plan, and are feeling pressure at your store. We encourage our employees to contact their direct leader so that these issues can be further addressed. This is very valuable insight for us as we continue to evaluate the structure of the company and thank you for your review.

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.
