Pros

benefits salary longevity great PTO they do yearly raises now which is nice; started this year okay if you like who you work with

Cons

hours are long, company does not care about retail positioned workers. So many people have quit. Area managers and directors are running away from here. pay has gone down every year even though I sell more, they give you $80 dollars divide by how many people you work with if you hit budget. & if you hit budget too much, they up it. If you don't hit you just get the 50k salary, healthcare gets worst every year and more expensive. if you sell 25 cars and your coworker sales 7, you get paid the same amount. so there's no reason to really push yourself to excel. I hear corporate is great but the retail side suffers greatly.

A lot of work , not a lot of life, balance, company culture or management.

Pros

Outside of the health benefits, there isn't much this company actually gives you. A $500 credit if you choose to buy one of the vehicles...and being able to test drive different vehicles.

Cons

The insane metrics you are held to. You are expected to make and take dozens of calls/texts/emails a day which are graded by people who don't work for the company. You are also tracked on the three ancillary products you are expected to sell in addition to the vehicle which is 100% optional and management forces you to slide right past them and make the customer sign. You also have to get a Google review on every sale along with setting them up on auto-pay, allow which count against you if you don't get it and you have no incentive other than a "good job" or a knuckle bump from management. Also, the company allows customers to make appointments at close and you have to stay without overtime pay because you are salaried and you won't get overtime pay either.
