Pros

Great people to work with. Move up quick because of huge turnover. Get experience in managing people; learn how to manage a branch from the ground up. This includes managing: your fleet, managing customers, managing back office reports and more. You learn how to think fast on your feet. Great place to start your career, but they burn you out and after three to four years you are done.

Cons

Long hours, managers are expected to put in 60+ hours. No personal life. High stress environment. Deal with difficult customers and body shops. Lack of fleet. Upper management expects branch managers to cut hours to make up for Mark Frissora screw up. This hampers customer service because the branch manager have to run short staffed. The sales expectations have now become unreasonable and unattainable. To many conference with upper management that interfere with day-to-day business. The pressure is higher than it has ever been. Not sure where the company is going. Many BM’s in the company are feed up.

Pros

Your coworkers are great to work with. You get to drive brand new cars.

Cons

When hired, you are promised 45 to 50 hours a week, up to 12 percent commission on your sales, and a monthly profit sharing bonus. What you actually get is mandated no overtime allowed, no commission because you have been promoted to an assistant branch manager, and a monthly bonus that you owe the company no matter how much profit you them. You are driven to go home and drink at the end of every day because of the irate customers, management's reign of terror, and the unrealistic job expectations.
