Pros

Alot of overtime if you want it.

Cons

A LOT of favoritism. Management hired a lot of people he work with from his former job . He hires most of them directly and everyone else is on a 90 day probation. He gives them higher positions then others. The company never has the supplies we need. You can never find locations for parts. Warp system is horrible. Supervisor has no clue of the warehouse but was hired because she also came from management previous job. Leads are very young, immature, rude. No good training there, and safety issues everywhere...We walk on foot in isles along with heavy equipment forks/ reachtrucks

Pros

Excellent branding, products and mission. You get to know the products intimately, driving the cars every day all over the place.

Cons

>Sadly incompetent HR who cannot hire and keep sales people. They must be so busy hiring new people every 2 months. >Fear based intimidation style management. Passively intimidating but very fear based. >Extremely unrealistic targets. >Receptionists in any CBD business earn the same base pay. >Commission is hugely lower than other car sales roles. Go sell Subarus instead. >Management at the highest level is manipulative of the customer. Will gladly sell you something knowing that the next model up is about to be discounted to the same price in 5 days time. >The bad eggs stay (in management) and the good eggs leave.
