Miserable company going down the drain

Pros

There are very little. I suppose the fact everyone has left or been fired and those remain run around with no clue or sense of direction makes it easy to set a low bar. The pay is fine but with the stock where it is, total comp is a joke. They have been giving out solid bonuses but word on the street is that process is changing and probably won't be around much longer.

Cons

Pretty much all of it. Between the layoffs, the missed goals, the lack of direction, it is seemingly a dying company. Oh yeah, I forgot, they just announced one of the longest standing and by far most substantial partner is leaving in 6 months. This partner was a maybe chunk of our revenue stream. Well, you do the math. Overall politics, inexperience, along with some stupidity has led us down this path. No turning back now.

Pros

Health premiums paid for fully (self only). some great co-workers. Great stepping stone in your career due to name recognition.

Cons

Lots of Micromanagement. Role evolved from service management to a sales rep. Bonuses are more determined by how many stores you sign up for True Cars new products (I.e True Car Trade). Essentially, you’re in a selling role without getting paid a sales rep salary. There is a lack of direction from management which causes a lot of finger pointing, targeting individuals for not bringing on more clients (when this wasn’t a sales role! And there’s an entire separate team whose job this is!). PTO is advertised as “unlimited.” But it is hard to even take a few days off for vacation especially when you have to make sure you hit monthly goals. It is hard not to fall behind on the tasks/expectations set if you take time off. As dealerships are open late and on weekends, one is expected to be on call. You provide your cell phone number so dealerships can always call you, even when you’re on vacation (They will call as things break, often).

Pros

It's a very supportive work environment. They have a great kitchen, they buy lunch often, they do a great deal of things for their employees.

Cons

The pay isn't great. I would rather give up some of the lunches, and food, and events and make a better living.
