Pros

Fairly good culture, good people, host contests for free lunches, and extra cash. Rotating driver for managers. In rare occasions, able to take company car out of town. The competitive base salary for SA's is a good start depending on your region.

Cons

An abundance of issues with vehicles, little to no work-life balance for most Managers, space for promotion is minuscule due to lack of opportunities within the region. Have some of the same bad habits most older companies struggle with, hire intelligent employees and often treat them as if the employees can't read between the lines. The line of ethics from positions above the dealership level is often blurred when referring to new company objective or profit. Often overwork managers, especially when dealerships in the area are short-staffed. Some managers go weeks and are only able to see their families for a few hours. This will diminish productivity. There's isn't a person on earth that will continue to do that forever. Supervisor and company seem out of touch with the real-life human experience of its employees. Quality of the product is decreasing due to increased focus on profit. Realism usually is set aside in any sales position.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
