      Long Hours

      Sales consultant/mentor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In sales you can make a great amount of money, Co-workers are helpful

      Cons

      Long Hours they say that you will have a work/life balance, but you will have no life at all. You will not have two days off in a row. You might get a tuesday off then a sunday. You only get a three day weekend ever 4 weeks. Even on your days off you will have to come in if that is the only day your client can come in. Daily training is a waste of time and you do not get paid. So you have to come in an hour before they open for a meeting. and they get upset if you are late even though You are not getting paid. No base pay.

      Lots of Work, Lots of Experience

      Business office associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great coworkers and community, easily the best part of the job. Frequent celebrations, meetings, and meals to enhance that community and cohesion. Easy to get a lot of experience, very quickly, especially in the customer service realm.

      Cons

      Pay is better than minimum, but considering the high intensity, stress, and skill level involved in this position, the pay is low. Hard to move up quickly, but if you have the room financially to spin your wheels for a of couple years, you will be able to climb the ladder, but only if you're open to relocation.

      Each Sale pays $160 THATS a joke!

      Sales consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      you can make as much, or as little as you would like in terms of commission.

      Cons

      ~YOU ONLY GET PAID $160-$300 PER SALE (if not split) You can have a schedule, but you'll be at most customers' mercy. By this I mean you'll sacrifice plenty of time off to come in and (HOPEFULLY) sell a car. Also, you'll have to make sure nobody else in the store does ANYTHING with your customer (test drive, pull up order, ANYTHING) or you may lose half of your commission, or even all of it.
