Pros

Nice co-workers, nice facility and inventory. Most are working hard to try to make a difference, but when some of the unqualified managers are taking their frustrations out on the employees it does not make for a a pleasant and conducive work environment.

Cons

Where do I begin ? Worst dealer group out there for employees, especially salespeople, the lifeline of their business. You're going to work a 6 day schedule, and they are constantly working on "New Payplans" to pay you less. Most new hires don't make it past 90-180 days, they want you out before you qualify for benefits, then they fill your seat with another naive newbie. I have been in the High-end business for decades and AutoNation was the absolute worst in the way they compensate and regard their most valuable asset, their employees.

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.
