Pros

The pros are you learn how to run a business, you get to test drive new cars, and you meet tons of people.

Cons

The cons are dependent upon your location. If you are placed in a busy location, the cons include not having enough vehicles and not enough staff. In addition, the bonuses are a joke and if you didn't know, this is a sales job so be prepared to sell at all cost. The way the sales are measured are a huge motivation for unethical behavior.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
