Pros

When you a manager you get to drive the cars and don’t have to pay for gas . That’s literally the only pro

Cons

They understand staffing is an issue , but they don’t hire more staff Though they want cars being cleaned, don’t want to hire utilities to do the job of cleaning cars . The reps are cleaning cars . How do you want me to focus on sales and cleaning cars . They switch what the focus is every other week . They want branch managers to be at the branch from open to close every day . And if they had it there was it would legit be everyday thank god for Sunday’s . They generally don’t care about your well being , I tell my employees that if you want to quit I’m fully behind you because it’s too much to go home with . They are literally stuffing teslas down our throats and we are inconvenienced because not every location has charging stations . You have to call off sick just to get mentally prepared for another day of work . And they Will dangle a carrot in front of the horse just to get their way .

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

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.
