Pros

Good job if you like cars and hate being around your family.

Cons

- On a draw from day one, so even though they may not let you sell while training, you will be on a draw. - Training consists of 1.5 days in a local dealership conference room, watching a couple of Sonic videos and watching brand videos - Old school car dealership environment - crude language, contempt of both sales reps and customers. - Too many old timers that are lost. - Lots of happy talk at the corporate level about associate satisfaction is job one, the reality is that it is hollow words - Will willing screw you out of commissions and provide no documentation of how pay is computed. - Reports are false that they submit on pay. You will easily work over 120 hours in a 2 week period, yet they will report 80 hours. Guess it doesn't matter because it is a draw and they keep you in the hole from the start. - Company is publicly traded and they provide no opportunities for stock ownership. CEO stated in a public meeting that if we want stock we should open an E-Trade account yet the guy hosting the meeting was given $10mm of stock (FU).
