Pros

Employee Stock Purchase in a steady fast growing company, Decent pay plan, Full "Corporate level" benefits.. HR, Insurance, etc..

Cons

There aren't a lot of downsides fortunately Group 1 does a fairly good job at managing and running a business. My only issue is our current GM is one of the worst people you could ever work for. Sure upfront he fits the bill and is probably regarded by most as a great guy.. But us here are terrified of him both physically and mentally he is abusive. Group 1 took over the store back a few years ago and honestly that is one of the only reasons he's still here. There is really only one thing he is decent at (took a lot for me to find one compliment) and it's his ability to sell... If I wasn't terrified of retaliation like what he's done to everybody else who has tried crossing him. I'd come forward with the recordings of how he talks to employees and others.. quite a few of the people who left (after a long time of working here) have probably hours worth of recordings. Other then that... The other management team is pretty great.. Incase you needed to know this is specifically to the New and Used Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in Denton TX. Wish it would go back to the good ole days so I could just "Relax, and enjoy the difference"

Pros

Large corporate entity will take a chance on hiring almost anyone willing to work

Cons

Tribal corporate culture makes advancement very difficult for those not handpicked or sponsored. Do not be cajoled by the term “open-door policy”. The only open door is the one to the building. Keep your ideas to yourself; they will not be heard. Company is not very forward thinking and very slow at change. Beware that salary IS NOT corporate controlled as you will be told. You may very well be compensated below those with less experience or quality. Do not believe that going above and beyond will help you here.
