Pros

Strong brand. Easier to be on the right side of sales. Provides good 401k program. Regular schedule.

Cons

You have to work some extra hours if you are going to be successful, shrinking pay plan on a yearly basis, Autonation's overall plan for salespeople is make it a 35k salaried job. Which means they are going to continue putting processes into place that minimize a salesperson's ability to be greatly affective at their job. While that may never actually happen it's making it harder to make money on individual sales due to the aggressive pricing structure.

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.
