Pros

provide training that you need. Pay is fairly good. make sure you are safe. Has a gym all employees can use and personal trainers onsite if you need help. multiple lunch rooms so you dont have to leave campus for lunch as well as lunch trucks that come to the campus.

Cons

hours are long. you are on your feet 95% of the day. very fast pace and expected to keep up even your first few days there. when work is slow still expected to stand and walk around to "look" busy when it is obvious nothing is being done.

Pros

Product (Cars are great and easy to talk about) - Health Benefits (great choice and great benefits)

Cons

Manager of my store is a bitter, mean, and passive aggressive person. Upper management doesnt seem to care what we think and how we feel. Feeling is that we are expendable and are just a number. Don't get paid based upon our experience. Goal we are expected to hit is outrageous and we have no control of the sales cycle. Expected to do work and not get paid for it. Onboarding experience left a lot to be desired. Training was disorganized and we are expected to work when we aren't getting paid. Do not have the resources we need to be successful in our role.
