Pros

Excellent company to work for if you are ambitious and want to learn everyday. While the company does have its challenges and shortcomings, it's been the most responsive company I've ever seen in terms of finding solutions and fixing issues to sell more cars. The career growth is off the charts if you buckle down and work hard. The mentorships and values you learn are hard to duplicate at other companies. Very laid back culture. Not very political at all compared to other companies. Everyone is on the same team all the way from the bottom to the CEO himself. Free lunches and extra bonuses make me feel appreciated. Even when things don't go as planned you can always pick up the phone for support and guidance from people who genuinely care about you and your team's success.

Cons

The technology used in retail is a bit dated and not user friendly. I may be a bit biased but I would like us to move to Apple systems. There have been improvements over time but I find myself having to be mindful of how many programs and reports I have open while performing daily tasks.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
