Pros

They are closed for Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving....those are the highlights.

Cons

Selling or trying to sell vehicles that do not meet the standards as set by the company. Oh wait...the company lowered the standards so it could be even more profitable.

Pros

Coworkers are very nice, down to earth people. For a commission-based dealership, toe-stepping is minimal. Decent pay for a Job that does not require college degree.

Cons

Micro-management. Hard to advance in your career, since management is mostly hired from outside. Pay have not increased in years.

Pros

This company employs a cast of good hardworking people.

Cons

Growth opportunity is limited to those not part of the "in" crowd. All Senior Executives are middle aged, caucasian, atheletically built males.
