Pros
Industry Match: It’s a good fit if you enjoy the dealership environment but want the benefits of a corporate structure. Solid Pay and Perks: The starting salary and bonuses are fair, and you get a company vehicle. Flexible Hours: You can set your own daily routine as long as you get your dealership visits done. Easy Time Off: It’s simple to take a break whenever you want, as long as it isn't during the busy end-of-month or start-of-month rush. But you are expected to stay "on" when you take time off, or ask a friend to cover for you. Good Benefits: You get plenty of vacation time and paid holidays. Similar to a government employee or teacher because of GM's unions Supportive Leadership: Most immediate managers are great.
Cons
Overwhelming Workload: You’re constantly juggling a growing list of tasks with no support or structure to get it done. You're alone all day working on your own. Conflicting Interests: Different departments push you to prioritize their projects, even though they don’t count toward the specific goals you're actually graded on. Corporate Disconnect: HQ calls all the shots without understanding how things actually work on the ground. Cutthroat Environment: The culture is tense because everyone is competing for attention just to avoid being part of the next round of layoffs. Limited Growth: Most jobs outside of the field are in Michigan, and promotions to these roles are extremely difficult, almost humorously difficult to get. Forced Relocation: You can’t get a raise or a better title without moving to a different district (aka new city) Misleading Role: It’s pitched as a sales job, but the day-to-day is really just paperwork and checking off boxes with the dealers while trying to push your metrics and get everything done without making the dealers mad.
