Pros

Co-workers were actually really helpful. Helped me out a lot more than the manager would ever.

Cons

Essentially making 100+ dials everyday going through recycled pipelines attempting to sell below subpar vehicles with really high APR - only offered low base, NO COMMISSION, only team-based bonus every month which is quite literally is stupid. Expected to do OT almost daily with no extra pay. And absolutely no support running around the store when there’s 3-4 of you in the whole store max. Store manager would micromanages you as well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback as a CEG. We're glad to hear that your co-workers were supportive and helpful during your time here. As a company, we believe in carpooling to a shared destination - it's one of our core values. Because of this, we switched to a team-based commission to provide a pressure-free sales experience for our customers and a non-competitive sales environment for our employees. We want our employees to work together as a team, not against each other. This is also why we provide a base salary. Thank you for sharing your experience, we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

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.
