Pros
Westlake trained me for three months. I went to every department, where I learned Marketing, Underwriting, and Selling. I was given a base salary for a year, and then was rolled into the Sales Compensation Plan. It wasn't a secret, I knew that we begin to be moved, and we still had a base + commision. As far as other departments I was lucky I actually value all the work other people do for my dealers, it takes everyone to complete the deal.
Cons
co-workers, some just don't get it or don't want to get it. It is a competition, at the end of the day it will be about who called the most, who has the most delaer working in the system. I personally never allowed anyone else to bring me down, I had a number to make, dealers to train and support. Sure there are alot of former "car guys" but you can't focus on that, FOCUS on you.
