Pros
You can expect to get job offers quickly once you decide to quit since this company is notorious for slave-driving. You’ll also make great friends because everyone bonds over how miserable they are working there. If you were a burnt out college student that barely graduated and want any chance at a “career” this is the place for you. Build your resume with this job for a year and then run and never look back. OK salary, benefits and 401(k), could always be better.
Cons
They’ll rope you in with the whole speech of endless promotions, all of the perks you’ll get (that you don’t get for years until you are an area manager), and they’ll basically promise you the world. Don’t buy any nice clothes because you’ll be expected to be in the wash bay cleaning cars for over half of the 10 hour day- yes 10. Their promise of “giving you the tools you need to grow” essentially means that you’ll learn how to detail the interior and exterior of a car whilst customers are throwing a fit that they’ve had to wait an hour for their car in the first place. Good luck trying to take time off- the “choice time” will sit there for months as you bargain with your area manager to take a few days off so that you don’t lose your sanity. Your “flex time” does not exist and don’t ever count on getting a lunch break! Make sure you bring snacks that you can eat while you drive while you- yes YOU- chauffeur customers around the capital region. To top it off, the “sales” experience you “gain” will not help you in the slightest in the real world! From someone who has left and found a career where I am treated like a person and not a robot, all I can say is RUN FAST AND DO NOT LOOK BACK.
