Pros

- It’s easy to make friends and find camaraderie with coworkers who share similar values and goals. - Provides opportunities to gain industry knowledge for those new to the automotive sector.

Cons

- The workplace culture is hostile, particularly for women. - Harassment is a significant issue, often stemming from store-level employees such as technicians and sales managers, creating an unsafe and uncomfortable environment. - Issues of sexism, bigotry, and discrimination are pervasive and largely ignored by management. - Compensation is below industry standards, which adds to the frustration of dealing with a toxic workplace. - Upper management and VPs are focused solely on profits, showing little to no concern for employee well-being or fostering a respectful, inclusive culture. - Complaints about harassment and misconduct are not taken seriously, leaving employees feeling unsupported and undervalued.

Pros

Pretty standard auto company these days

Cons

Low pay for internet sales. Incoming AI integration makes longevity of that work tenuous.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a company review. We appreciate the tenure with our sales BDC department. While “pretty standard” isn’t the goal, I guess we could be worse. Our intention is to set ourselves apart by exceeding expectations so we will continue to work on that. We will be intentional in evaluating the industry benchmarks to ensure our compensation plan is competitive and attractive. While I do understand AI can be beneficial in this industry, it certainly has its pros and cons. Thank you for leaving us a review. Brooke
