Pros

Amazing coworkers, flexible schedule while you on certain sales level

Cons

Since November 2018 up today May 2019, they cut Off Sales commission 65% what means impossible to survive, so when in the past if you rush yourself all days and you sell 22 cars, you take home net around 3,200 by weekly, now with the new cut, you have to sell 45 cars to make try to make what you were doing before and will be impossible because tax break will kill you also. Management doesn't care about you, they are too focus on beat Carvana, Off Lease and other new companies that are more up to update on business and technology......... Don't waste your time ......

Pros

Learn valuable selling principles and different systems including Salesforce that will enhance your marketability.

Cons

With recent ceo transition from previous ceo Tom Folliard, emphasis on taking care of employees has dwindled considerably and almost exclusively focused on profit thru so called “Iconic” experience. Neglect of employees starting to have a long term affect on company as a whole .

Pros

Some great co-workers. Really, that's the only pro.

Cons

CULTmax. Day 1 you'll be told you're one of the rare 2% of applicants they hire. Lie. I saw 98% of applicants get hired. Training begins and it's basically cult indoctrination. You, chosen one will fight the evils of Auto sales by working for the "good guys" at CultMax. Trues, many people enjoy the no-haggle pricing. But, the company charges thousands more per car than other places. Micromanaging is an understatement. You are under constant review. You will speak only the phrases you are told to speak. Anything more or less gets you written up. Pay? $160 per car is a joke. Do the math. Most employees end up making barely more than minimum wage. The culture and values the extolds are blatant lies.
