Pros

The company is great to rent from only. Has decent range of cars (varies on location). Good time off (PTO) great medical and dental 401k, rental discounts. Is you're a good "seller" your commission will be good Area manager was good, branch manager so so. Just depends on location.

Cons

Long hours low pay, mandatory overtime. Deal with abuse from Customer, Service Advisors, and adjusters. Most of that due to Branch Manager always promising and not delivering. Always about numbers, got talked to multiple times due to low sales quotas. I was more into providing a better customer service experience. Management would say they don't have problem with my customer service but always always reiterated about the numbers. If your sales numbers are low (especially for Insurance replacement) you'll never take the test to become Assistant Branch Manager/Branch Manager.

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.
