Pros

Great employees in both sales and service. This particular location has two dealerships on one campus, both high quality imports. Great cars to sell if you have enough inventory.

Cons

Extremely abusive management. Old school sales techniques that belong more on a movie screen. Favortism towards those who are doing very well and degrading comments made during sales meetinings towards those who aren't doing as well. Waiting in line in the Sales Managers office to "work a deal" while he is playing with his smart phone or chatting with another person. The hours are long and forget about taking a day off. The GM lives and breaths car sales and expects his sales people to do the same. It's a good thing you can't sell cars on Sunday in Iowa otherwise you would not see your family at all.

Pros

"Lithia offered the opportunity to work on enterprise-scale architecture challenges while contributing to the company's digital transformation. The organization invests in modern cloud technologies and encourages collaboration across engineering, product, and business teams. It was a great environment for solving complex technical problems with real business impact."

Cons

Excellent strategic architecture experience, but the role offered fewer opportunities for hands-on software engineering than I prefer.
