Pros

Lots of opportunity for advancement within the company. Great place to learn the car business, including finance, sales, management.

Cons

Employee turnover (especially in the sales department) is extremely high, approaching 200% per year for sales and around 100% company-wide, and that was before this big layoff they just had due to the downturn in the car business and the US economy in general. Lithia did/does a miserably bad job of competing in their metro dealerships. They have flip flopped on their business model first 180 degrees, then another 180 degrees back.They should be able to make it back to viability, but there is going to be some pain and suffering felt by a lot of employees (as if there hasn't been already).

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.
