Pros

Good pay if willing to put in the long hours

Cons

Horrible work life balance. They expect you to have zero regard for the customer and put them in whatever junk car they have on the lot.

Pros

Your coworkers are always really fun and helpful. Praise is pretty constant as well. There is almost always something to learn in the beginning and there is alot of freedom. Schedule flexibility is also a nice perk. If you are looking for an office job that involves more than sitting at your desk, I would recommend this position.

Cons

As a DC you will constantly be under-appreciated. We are the lowest paid postion in the dealership and yet find ourselves with one of the biggest work loads.You are constantly given the duties of a sales advisor without the pay and then lectured when you fall behind on your own duties. This is absolutely my least favorite part of my position. Being asked to do 100 things at once while the sales advisors and managers sit around talking and laughing. Deal sorting, you will get very very familiar, is not a shared load. DCs do most of it and every once in awhile a sales advisor will do maybe one or two. This is understandable when the dealership is busy, but most days during the sales advisor's freetime you will not see them with a deal in hand. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE SCAPEGOAT for literally anything. You will eventually be trained to sell a car. GIVE DCS INCENTIVES TO SELL CARS or DON'T MAKE US PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCCESS. This is the most demoralizing part of being a DC. You are surrounded by co-workers who are lining their own pockets with your hard work. You can generate a lead, set an appointment, run the GAF, showcase the car, sell the products 100%, set up GPS, set up ACH, and have a manager contract the customer out and still have nothing to show for the effort. The manager will assign the sale to the SA who opened the lead one time and did not make a single comment.
