Pros

This is a company that has the potential to do great things for their employees, growth, training, a true difference

Cons

Unfortunately the leadership is lacking, it is driven by sales only. It has the right ideas for the wrong personnel. It is an industry that is trying to catch up to technology but in the hands of T-Rexes. They dress up as a new and improved automotive retail company with the same typical old ideas and approaches. This is a reactive company plagued by people unwilling to change for the better.

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.
