Pros

Nothing good about Mercedes Benz of Nashville or sonic automotive in particular.

Cons

Poor poor management is all I can say. They don't give a crap about their hourly employees(at least the ones that are dedicated to their work) and kiss the butts of the people who do only half of what they should. It's pathetic really. They use intimidation in employees to get what they want, and forget about reporting it to corporate you'll lose your job anyway. No room for advancement whatsoever and if a spot does come up and your a woman don't think for a second you would even be considered. Also a huge turnover rate. The month I left at least 5 others left too. Shouldn't that say something about management or no?

DON'T WORK FOR THEM

Pros

I don't really have any. They are car salesmen, and will con anyone into thinking their getting a good deal.

Cons

They didn't allow me to have a lunch break even for 12 hour shift or a break, and as a switchboard operator I wasn't even covered to go to the restroom. I had a friend die, and they only had a memorial service vs a funeral or visitation, and they wrote me up for demanding to be off the day of. I was promised advancement, but was continuously denied so other employees friends could have position. I wouldn't work there.

Pros

You get to experience how working in the car business really is and how it will change your life.

Cons

Everything is horrible about this job. Managers stress you out, I have a headache everyday I go home. I am salary, but with this stress level I am better off being commission. COLD CALLING JOB.
