Car Outlet Response

Thank you for your review. We are sorry your experience here was not a great one. In regard to pay, all employees make at least the minimum wage set by the City of Chicago and many employees make well above that. We review compensation at least annually, and we strive to pay all of our employees competitively. We were surprised that you feel that there’s no upward movement in Sales, as all of our current Sales Managers started out as either Porters or Sales Consultants and were promoted into a management position. It’s unfortunate that you feel you didn’t get sufficient information on our insurance, and we are always striving to get more information to our employees. Since November, we revised our orientation program, and go over benefits extensively with new employees and answer any questions they may have. We also provide informational sessions during open enrollment annually. I’m sorry you felt the HR Department was unresponsive; we do our best to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours

Pros

I personally had a really great experiencing working for Car Outlet. I learned a lot in the short time I was there. I left the company for personal reasons that had nothing to do with the company or my experience there. Here are some of the highlights: -Friendly and helpful employees -Positive work environment -Strong sense of community -Great mission, which the company is extremely committed to -New corporate office with high ceilings and lots of natural light. Further most departments are located here so you really get a strong sense of the company as a whole. -Always trying to improve and the company is growing rapidly so room for growth

Cons

I didn't experience many downsides to working with Car Outlet but here are a few: -Typical work day ends at 5:30 for part time employees to account for 30 minute lunch break -Parking lot isn't big enough for all employees so most employees have to park on the street (for free) but that sometimes isn't convenient
