Pros

Payed for your performance, felt like running your own business

Cons

Most weeks have split days off with the occasional Friday Saturday Sunday and a Sunday Monday within a 6 week period. 100% commission is rough on a bad month! but overall it was fairly consistent.

Pros

Human interaction. Passion for cars. Employee discounts (Max 3 cars per year). Role play skills. Self confidence. Auto trade secrets. "Buyer" position has higher job satisfaction.

Cons

Schedule inflexibility. Unpredictable hours. Forget about personal life. Training material is overwhelming. Low pay (especially at newer locations with low sales)
