      Pros

      The only reason I work here is because of the commute.

      Cons

      They just cut the pay plan by saying they are “increasing our chances to make money” when in fact we are averaging between $800-$1200 PVR on used cars but we have a $500 used car pack so that 30% commission isn’t going to pay out over the standard $200 mini. Forget about new cars because every general manager is so focused on volume and making our reports look good to the RODM, MP, and RP. They constantly screw up spiffs and are never paid on time which leads to all the sales staff becoming very disgruntled because it make take 2 months. The previous pay plan was actually decent and worth sticking around for but stores are losing people left and right as high as 5-6 people a month right now.

      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.
