Pros

Company car, stable company, pension plan, 401K plan, health benefits.

Cons

Management out of touch with reality when it comes to setting goals and employee development. Long hours not compensated by a decent wage, washing cars with suit and tie on, horrible company culture only intensified by incompetent middle and upper management.

Pros

Great team of co-workers, decent benefits, and great learning opportunities/training.

Cons

In my experience I saw upper management treat subordinates like slaves and workhorses, no work/life balance, upper management doesn't talk to you --more like at you. Expect to work really long hours and be thrown under the bus. They have a way to make you feel incompetent even though you've poured so much energy into your projects. The company is so huge it feels like there are too many cooks in the kitchen and things getting lost. Things move at a snails pace.

Pros

Driving around all the different car is pretty neat. That is about all this job has going for it.

Cons

I have read all the reviews and every single negative commit has happened to me personally. The pay system is a joke with a very bad punch-line. (That is your check) I graduated from college to get a job washing cars in a tie. They made it sound like in my interview that the only time that you would wash cars was if it was really busy, but instead they don't have a person to wash cars and expect all employees to do so. To hit your numbers you have to straight up lie to your customers about everything that you are selling. If you don't hit your numbers they will write you up so they have a paper trail to not pay unemployment claims. The numbers can be changed by upper management at any time so you dont know what you are aiming at.
