Pros

Flexible hours. Good product training. Manageable and realistic expectations by management. Typically well known industry brand name (CarsDirect.com). Great, friendly work environment in an office setting. Good base salary, and great pay plan (see cons). Good health/dental/vision insurance benefits options. Turnover has slowed down in the past few months.

Cons

Compensation is low for this type of sales job. The pay plan is great, and the earnings potential is high, *if* the products sell. The company does little to promote the CarsDirect name in compared to its competitors (other e-commerce automotive websites), creating a very hard product to sell. You can be the best salesperson in the world, but that cannot make up for an iffy product. The management preaches product quality, but it is very hard to prove or provide evidence to customers to aide in sales. The dealer relations department doesn't offer health/dental/vision benefits until 6 months of employment. It seems this is done to not invest in new employees that may turn over (typical in sales), so it is somewhat understandable. Internet Brands does not contribute to your 401k. They ARE up front about that, and advise you to not contribute if you are not interested, to their credit.

Pros

At FindLaw, a division of Internet Brands, they do a good job of hiring people and the lower-level managers treat you with respect. When you get laid off, they do offer a severance package.

Cons

Internet Brands is a company that is in business only to make money. They pay lip service to developing talent and promoting from within, but do not actually sponsor any programs within the company to achieve this. Since purchasing FindLaw in December 2024, we have conducted several rounds of layoffs, with U.S. writers being let go and replaced by writers in Mexico and Manila who are trained in AI and paid less. The fact that their maximum 401K match is .75% (not a misprint, less than 1%) tells you everything you need to know about how little they value their employees.
