It's a big publicly traded company with all the benefits and stresses of a big publicly traded company.

Pros

Generous vacation time, company car for managers, stock purchase at a discount from paycheck and hourly employees can earn thousands of extra dollars monthly in sales incentive. Hourly employees at this company can do VERY well if they are good salespeople. There is ample room for advancement for managers if they are willing to relocate often.

Cons

Every year, we seem to push the panic button earlier and earlier. The 4th quarter is very hard on all employees. The small local branches can't pay for simple things like tires and oil changes without jumping through hoops. It is easier to give up than fight for credit card approval, which is why problem cars get dumped at airports. The airport locations wind up laying people off (often right around the holidays), which destroys morale and hurts customer service in a MAJOR way.

Pros

You can get promoted and get a car to drive. Great customer and great people working hard to move up. And lots of overtime when it's busy as a trainee

Cons

The promise of promotions if you sell. But the goals are always changing and customer service is not as important as the sale. Training is get out there and do it. And when you don't I will tell you why it's not enough.

Pros

It is a job but not a good one. Initially, it sounded really great but reality was not as it was portrayed. There was high turnover so that should have been my first clue and the fact they are always hiring.

Cons

Lots of hours, low pay, zero appreciation and it is tough to look at yourself in the mirror. I personally saw customers overcharged who came back to get it straight and they fought for months trying to get their money back. I knew they were right but the company didn't care and many I am sure never got their money back. I was uncomfortable with this as I felt bad for the customers as times are tough right now in this economy. They also could care less about your health or family/ work life balance. Management is often not available and slacks off letting the other workers do everything. If you have questions you are on your own and the Area Manager is even worse.
