Pros

As a manager you get to drive one of the company cars at all time including when you travel out of town. When you work off-airport the hours are good which is unusual in a retail environment. A lot of great people to work with and learn from.

Cons

The majority of your time is spent managing fleet and moving cars around. The company overbooked a great deal which can be stressful for the branch staff. The company also runs many branches with Assistant Managers or Manager Trainees which puts a lot of extra work on them for a lot less pay and no car privilege. This is not a great structure and leads to numerous problems. The company also only hires those with college degrees for management positions which can be limiting in the hiring process, and there are numerous hoops to jump through for a promotion.

Pros

Awesome team in area, get to drive different cars, OT available I'd you need it, business operations experience gained

Cons

Washing cars in 100+ degree heat all day in dress clothes, bonus structure always changing , now with promotions to ABM or BM, it is about 1/3 of what it used to be and you are doing twice the work since utilities were laid off. Not fair that portions if the bonus are calculated at an area level vs. a branch level. Same branches each month "carry" the area while other branches have consistently lower numbers yet still make a bonus.
