Pros
I am SO fortunate to have the best.... bosses....ever! Charlie Napier, Matt Mockabee and Glenn Miller. Three guys who took a real shot at giving me the opportunity to come and work for them, even though I had never done anything like this, Their encouragement, patience and unlimited knowledge of the car industry are such gifts to have in my corner as the new rookie. Also, Ric Rohde, the Sonic Regional Training Director for the Mid South, is an excellent teacher and all around great guy! He presented us with lots of valuable information we all need to know in the sales forum, and made the training session a fun and positive experience. I am excited to be a part of the Sonic Automotive family, and I hope I can be a positive force for others in the company the way these awesome people are for me.
Cons
The potential work hours can be long, but I think as we bring on more awesome people, those schedules will modify themselves naturally. And, car buying does need to accommodate guest's shopping hours. So it is an adjustment.
