Pros

Compensation was good for the market I was in. Company idealogy and growth plans well thought out. Exceptional sales during a tough economy where consumers are hanging on to older vehicles versus purchasing new cars.

Cons

Poor staffing model forcing managers to work more than the 50 hours requirement. Inconsistent focus agenda's within upper management at district and regional levels causes confusion at the store level. Lack of raises for higher compensated team members who are expected to do the same or more work for less money after cost of living increases.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
