Does anybody care about good employees?

Pros

Employee benefits are good.

Cons

My experience so far. GM's get in the seat and forget really fast what got them there. Leadership skills in the dealership I'm in are non-existent. No training. A bunch of " we are gonna start doing this and that" but nothing ever happens. But the clique's get to leave early if they want o. I know some sales managers that come in at 9:00 to 9:15 everday and leave at 4:30 to 5:00 everyday. And just leave sales people and Finance to deal with everything else. Go figure.

Pros

Location, 3 really good managers, 1might even be there. free coffee, free lunch on Sat. Uniforms. In hindsight the health benefits were ok, better that my then assessment.

Cons

Not many good managers. Margins are so tight, everyone is running around with the heads cut off because margins dictate we're understaffed. Needs to be better inter-departmental cooperation. I know this would require changing the entire industry, but you have to try to start in your own back yard.

Pros

I can only think of one, they serve you dinner on month end.

Cons

I don't know where to begin, this is a sweat shop for Accountants. $15 per hour, no vacation or time off for a year. The team has an internal issue with helping, because they do not trust leadership. There is no true leadership with this firm, they will throw you in the fire and let you burn. One your team finds out you are degreed, they become nervous and will not help you for fear of, I have no Idea.
