Be very skeptical if you are considering a position with this company.

Pros

You can make good money doing this. (60k-80k avg) You can learn a lot about sales and beyond through experience. You can make a ton of connections that will last longer than you plan on working there.

Cons

Favoritism at it's peak. If you are okay with running to buy management coffee and lunches in exchange for leads then this is the job for you! (Yes buying with YOUR money) Management will hide your commissions from you until they are ready to actually pay you. I've also caught them manipulating the numbers so that they don't have to pay you as much. There is absolutely 0 team work between departments so if you sell a car that still needs to go through the shop, be prepared to fight with the foreman, technicians, parts, reconditioning crew, and detail crew just to make sure it stays moving.

Great Experience, too much work and Poor Pay

Pros

The place itself is a nice place to work in. The experience is valuable but it is a lot of hard work for the poor pay I receive currently. Looking to transfer out soon.

Cons

Supervisor, Trissy Pass, doesn't know the new process that was implemented recently. Management is messy at times and there is a lot of work put on each clerk. Month-end seems chaotic and we never finish on time. The bonus they talk about is never guaranteed.

Pros

Not very many pros. You meet new people who become family after a while.

Cons

Managers are terrible. My current manager pulls me into his office to constantly degrade me. There is no room for advancement. It is very male dominated and if you’re a female, you have little to no chances for promotions. We are constantly forced to do things that are against the policy because we are getting “pressure from the higher ups.” Raises are never given but extra loads of work are. If you don’t do extra work, you’re automatically not good anymore. This company does not value their employees at all.
