Pros

Pay is great...if you work 12 hour days, 6 days a week

Cons

PTO is a joke (7 days to start, that includes any sick days), Work/Life Balance is nonexistent, Management is incredibly reactive, and borderline incompetent depending on which store you work at. New car sales are drying up, and the outlook isn't improving

However, we do not want the requirements to negatively impact our employees’ personal lives and result in a poor work/life balance.

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.
