Pros

Free car, and gas. New building, clean bathrooms!!!

Cons

You will work more than 40 hours week almost 55+ and up some weeks. Bonus.. what bonus it changes each year so much its just crazy. Never work at the Miami Airport!!! You have been warned. Any other airport non union is ok but never go to Miami. Also no pay increase ever! Union controls the managers.

Pros

Able to drive around different cars (if that is your thing), no "set desk" so plenty of time to move around, advancement opportunities if you know the right people, and the availability for overtime if you desire.

Cons

60 hour weeks common, washing vehicles in extreme heat or cold, extreme favoritism, horrible benefits, forced to sell coverage and being rewarded for cheating to do so, working in buildings that violate safety codes, false advertising of advancement opportunities, unachievable goals, extremely low pay, micromanaged to the T.

Pros

-Young co-workers; most straight out of college. -World-wide company; Internationally recognized -Ability to relocate easily -Many positions avaliable within the company in different departments and levels.

Cons

-Promotions are solely based on sales perfomance - it has nothing to do with your ability to lead and manage people. -Expectations and goals are unrealistic. -LONG hours. LOW pay. -Cleaning cars! Rain-sleet--heat-snow...it must get done! Customers need clean vehicles. -Unethical practices are what gets employees promoted. Extremely difficult to hit goals with selling and doing everything "by the book". Upper management looks the other way, because higher sales and more $$ for those individuals in turn brings in more $$ for them. -HIGH turnover rate.
