Pros

The job is easy and if you enjoy working with cars, you’ll work with every major car brand.

Cons

This place is very micro managed. The management is dead set on getting you in trouble for every little slip up. Staffing was at an all time low because nobody wanted to work there. If you work in their inventory department, you’ll get stuck working weekends and every other department acts like you work for them.

Pros

variety of cars. stability. busy store(s). co-workers

Cons

micromanagement. texts/calls on days off. crappy vacation. insurance could be better. the amount of work that goes into securing and maintaining one deal is God awful for the pay. No financial benefits for us from finance apps. getting taxed on christmas bonus. Better look busy during downtime b/c god forbid its slow and there is nothing to do. completely #'s driven despite ones best efforts. Personal cell phone use is expected with out any reimbursement/pay for it. Fellow employees snaking deals from you (competitive toxic type environment) not a real team despite the sugar coat management presents. Simply put the pay is not worth the efforts placed. HIGH turnover.
