Pros

Get to drive all different types of cars. You get to meet people from other companies who can give you a chance to get a better job.

Cons

Customers and Management treat you like you are stupid. Unrealistic expectations. Commision is a joke, if you sell 10,000 worth of upsells/insurance, you might get 50 bucks. Extremely long hours in the heat and the cold. Have to clean up after other people who are filthy i.e dirty diapers, used condoms, etc. Management does not care how good of a job you do keeping customers happy if you don't make them buy insurance. Never enough cars. Every Branch is understaffed which leaves employees very stressed out. Hardly ever get an actual lunch break.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
