Pros

benefits salary longevity great PTO they do yearly raises now which is nice; started this year okay if you like who you work with

Cons

hours are long, company does not care about retail positioned workers. So many people have quit. Area managers and directors are running away from here. pay has gone down every year even though I sell more, they give you $80 dollars divide by how many people you work with if you hit budget. & if you hit budget too much, they up it. If you don't hit you just get the 50k salary, healthcare gets worst every year and more expensive. if you sell 25 cars and your coworker sales 7, you get paid the same amount. so there's no reason to really push yourself to excel. I hear corporate is great but the retail side suffers greatly.

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.
