Pros

Compensation and benefits are very good. Also, you learn a lot about underwriting which can benefit you in other areas.

Cons

They hours can be very long. Half the year you cannot take vacation. The biggest thing holding this company back is the fact that they don’t give raises.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We understand that retail hours can be demanding, especially during tax season, and are constantly looking for opportunities to reward the hard work that is put in by our sales teams year-round. Your feedback is helpful in allowing us to continue to improve.

Pros

Great hours and benefits with excellent leadership. Grow from within company ladder. Growing company in the industry. Employee moral very positive.

Cons

Production goals vary on retail demands. Cost cutting measures combined with a growing company seems to stalls potential leadership growth

Pros

You can skip out for an entire week out of the state on vacation (unpaid) and none of the managers will even have noticed that you were even gone - basically "no-call, no-show" for a whole week and they won't do nothing about it because management at that dealership doesn't care. Pretty cool perk on that end for a part time coordinator. As for the scheduling for a coordinator, you can show up when you want or not show up at all to work and not have to notify management about it. You don't even have to submit a schedule to them. Another cool perk.

Cons

This company is a cutthroat place to work for.Their motto is cheap pay for "great work culture". As a part timer and for all intent purposes this is a lackey's position, you don't get bonuses, pay raises or even yearly work reviews. It's the most thankless job in the entire company. They don't include you in the meetings, usually you are the last one to hear about anything. Major lack of communication on their part. They go through a lot of employees at the dealership in Mesa. Management is absolutely terrible there. As a dealership coordinator they don't even notice you're there. For instance, you can get pigeonholed into one task. Doing two-a-days out on the 101 Freeway 8 hours a day, 4 days a week for an entire year. Plus, if you come into this company thinking that you're going to work for this company and its going to help you enhance your integrity you're mistaken. You will lose your integrity working for them. For instance, as a part time Dealership Coordinator management will not grant your 45 hours PTO that you have earned and you lose all it at the end of the year but you can skip out for an entire week out of the state on vacation (unpaid) and none of the managers will even have noticed that you were even gone - basically "no-call, no-show" for a whole week and they won't do nothing about it because management at that dealership doesn't care. Pretty cool perk on that end for a part time coordinator. As for the scheduling for a coordinator, you can show up when you want or not show up at all to work and not have to notify management about it. You don't even have to submit a schedule to them. Another cool perk. You have VERY little exposure to the customers. Try to think of this job as being self employed where there is no accountability on your part and it's the lowest position in the company which means you are off the grid pretty much except when they need a trade done once in a blue moon. As a coordinator, its hard to be in one place because you are everywhere. The "Jack of All Trades" is a gimmick that simply states that you will have the most thankless position in Drive Time that you are going to be pigeonholed into one simple task, picking up cars and testing them.
