Pros

Honestly, there are no pros. They work you like a dog, constantly move the goal post forward and berate you while not shining any light on the hard work and sacrifice that you do for them.

Cons

People leave every almost month, you will not be paid fairly comparable to other workers in the same position at other companies. Meanwhile the company makes a boatload compared to your pennies on the dollar.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. Hearing that the recognition and pay haven't matched the effort you put in is something we take seriously, because that is not the experience we want for anyone on our team. Respect and professionalism are the standards we hold ourselves to, including recognizing hard work and treating our people fairly, and feedback like yours is part of how we stay accountable to them. We value the work you do, and we mean that.

Pros

For such a large corporation, important decisions are made quickly without much back-and-forth. The people I've worked with are smart and great at their jobs. The corporate culture encourages sharing new ideas that will ultimately benefit Group 1's dealers. Overall vibe in the corporate office is upbeat and supportive.

Cons

Can't think of any cons.
