Pros

Since there are so many people and its commission only you don’t have a manager chasing after you at all times. The company offers good benefits

Cons

Extremely low commission. Too many sales consultants, not enough customers. Poor management. Prepare to do work for free. You come in every morning 45 minutes before the store opens to move cars and organize the lot and at night you do the same and don’t get paid for any of that.

Pros

The training program is impeccable, by the end you're confident enough to use your tools and resources to be the best employee you can be. They have a tuition reimbursement which is great if you're a college student like me. Pay was great and really flexible with the schedule. You really get out what you put in.

Cons

Working part time can limit the amount of money you make as a sales consultant, once you reach your hours you have to split deals, but it's understandable
