Pros

great culture and management, the best i've ever had. theres a real comradery amongst the guys who work there because we all understand how much the actual work were doing sucks. tearing apart cars blows.

Cons

if you dont like it the first week, You wont like it ever because it never changes and theres no where to go. just lateral movements to other equally low paying back breaking positions

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
