Laid-back and easy

Pros

The atmosphere is extremely laid back and the pay is decent.

Cons

Do not expect performance based promotions and raises. Lower level management is too busy to actually manage employees and there is a lot of helping ones friend rather than the company going around.

Autonomy is no longer acceptable

Pros

Culture of the workplace is the best in the auto industry. Growth potential is high for entry to mid level mgt. Salary is good for retail salary levels. Business model is excellent and will expand over next few years.

Cons

Field decision making ability is becoming more limited and taking away the local market focus that the company started with. Continued comparisons to "the Walmart of the car business". Salaries are about half of what industry pays.
