Pros

Not a ton of pros, good exposure to the industry and how it works

Cons

--Poor management, went through 5 General Managers in the span of 1.5 years. Not only that, but there was no communication from Group 1 to management about the trainee program, the third manager I dealt with thought I was a college intern and had me manning the front desk --Bait and switch on management training program, they provide very little guidance or check-ins throughout the program. --Program creates jealousy and animosity among coworkers. You are a salaried employee who will be asked to perform the roles of a service writer and sales person. So you will be taking commissioned sales away from the employees who rely on that commission for their pay, so it is a balancing act between trying to prevent coworkers from getting mad at you for stealing work and keeping your metrics high so management is happy --They will make you work 60-70 hours or more during the sales rotation --Horrific sexism, racism, and childish behavior from coworkers and management

Pros

They offer employee stock benefits.

Cons

The workplace culture has deteriorated significantly over the past few years. What was once an organization employees were proud to be part of has become an environment where morale is consistently low and many employees feel disengaged and dissatisfied. The changes in leadership and culture have had a noticeable negative impact on the overall employee experience. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective employees to avoid at all cost.
