Pros

Off on Sundays and all major holidays. The company cares about family and if you need a day off they will give it to you. The pay is decent. Not the best but the worst. If you work from open to close every day and come on your off day you will make you’re goal.

Cons

If you’re a person who likes sink or swim sales,being Dissected each and every week,stress, no work life balance and toxic work environment then this is a place where you will do good. To make your goal you have to work open to close and on your off day. Working with Customers fake pay stubs,low income, horrible credit and fraudulent information. 80 percent of the cars have mechanical issues. 60 percent of customers return the vehicles within the first week. As a sales advisor you’re also the lot attendant, mechanic, Car washer, bank and contract processors. Management lacks professionalism and tell your personal business to other advisors. No sense of community. Doggy eat Dog type of sales environment. No formal training.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
