Pros

Get to drive new cars all the time. You occasionally get cool, regular customers. If you have the patience (and lack of pride) you'll become a branch manager and get to drive a rental car as your personal car.

Cons

Most customers treat you poorly. Job is EXTREMELY sales based, if you work off airport you will get fired for not selling enough insurance. Almost every branch is woefully understaffed. You have to wear dress clothes and clean disgusting cars all day long. You're going to be working more than 40 hours which is good because the pay is not enough to live on if you live in an expensive city. Don't work here if you have other options. Honestly, one of my greatest regrets.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
